> Fires it is hasimotos the autoimmune one. So besides to regulating of synthroid how long to feel better any idea? Love Phillipa
I don't really know because I was apparently misdiagnosed with it. The endocrinologist I saw used doses of Synthroid that were high enough to suppress the thyroid gland. According to him the usual doses of thyroid aren't high enough to suppress the thyroid.
Also, he didn't use Armour thyroid because he said it could trigger the same autoimmune response that your own thyroid is being subjected to.
Sorry for the late response, but I come and go here.
