OK, watch out, I'm letting my shields down a bit, so some of my paranoia might leak through...but I have to ask this question: do you think there is a risk of catching prion disease or mad cow disease from the armour brand? I'm so paranoid, I haven't eaten a hamburger in years.
Anyway, on a lighter note, I like the name "armour." It's somewhere between "armor" and the french word for love. "My that's lovely armor your wearing." "Why yes, I call it *armour*!" lol

ps. If this thyroid thing is hereditary then you might be onto something. My mom finally got into see a good endo after years on Levoxyl, and he said she was having trouble converign the T4 to T3. She's been put on a combo and feels much better.

> You don't mention being given any T3 medication. This is just a suggestion, but you might want to see if you can get a doc to either add a T3 to your Levoxyl, like Cytomel, or to possibly give you a drug that combines both of them (Thyrolar?). Also, a lot of people swear by the natural alternative, Armour, which contains both AND includes a couple of lesser "T's," T1 and T2. A lot of people say this makes them feel a LOT better and is just better for your body. Not all doctors prescribe it because they feel it has potency problems. But it has a passionate and loyal following. Do take a look at the links that 2sense posted in this thread.
