There's lots of resources to still remain on your thyroid treatment. Naturethroid is available and coming back on the shelves this month. As LM says - ERFA Canadian thyroid is great. You must have a script for it - just like Armour here - and it works good.

If the new Armour works for you, you are one of the lucky ones! Remember - dont assume it will always be available in the future.

"THIS IS CRAZY ! what are we suppose to do ????" - What I suggested in my first reply.

If you absolutely need dessicated, from now on always plan on having a 'back stash', stored in the freezer, in case this happens again, many here do this.

You are aware of the Armour shortage since August? If you had it all along you must have had an extended script or very good luck getting till now. They were shipping limited amounts of 1 grain (60's) last month. Calling only 5 pharmas is nothing. Plus the new formula doesn't work as well for most.

If you continue to have probs obtaining Armour in the future:

Most changed to Nature Throid (see my answer to that on another post this afternoon).

Can go with ERFA thyroid made in Canada , like Armour. Google it, look for a Canadian online pharmacy, doc faxes script, they ship to you.

Get it compounded in capsule form from a compounding pharmacy (they are still out there).

Switch to synthetic T4/T3 (maybe you tried in past?)

Who know what Armour's game plan is, if they have one at all, they obviously don't care anymore.
