I had Radioactive Iodine treatment last year

I had the treatment to lower my hyperthyroidism last year and have been on Levothyroxin. My question is I have become worried with the way our country is going that something could happen that I couldn't get the Levothyroxin and since I have to have something in order to live now I would like to stock up as I also stock up on food.  I have found that the synthetics only have a shelf of about 2-3 years, if that.  But Armour has a shelf life of 17 years.  Are the Raw thyroids sold on the internet a possibility for me also and are their shelf life as long?  I take 120 mcg levothyroxine. Thanks you,Susan
