Endocrin symptoms and conditions

Everyone out there, try Armour Thyroid!!! I was changed to Synthroid (because my endo only believed in it) a few years ago, and put on 15 pounds and lost half of my hair. I work out at least 6 days a week, run 3-4 miles a day, and live on salad. I asked my regular MD to switch me to Armour, and in three weeks, my hair stopped falling out, and I'm losing weight. I was losing, yes, I counted, at least 45 hairs a day when I combed my hair after my shower (and I'm not counting the clumps that came out in the shower). Now, maybe when I wring my hair out in the shower, only one will come out and less than 15 in my comb. Ask you doctor to just try it, and if it doesn't work, you can always go back. I swear by it. I'm happy all the time again, where I have just been monotone for the last few years, and I'm thrilled. Good luck!!!

I have an update...........Before all the news broke on singulair,my son was placed in a asthma study for adolescents,i got some very disturbing news today from the study.....his insulin level at fasting was 11....his insulin level at 2 hours after eating sugar was 238 but his glucose was within normal range...they have suggested we see an endocrine doctor......i will call his primary Monday and see if we can repeat these tests....I am hoping it was a temp effect of the singulair and not permhis hdl level was abnormal to but his cholesterol was 170....
