I am 43 and have been taking eltroxin for a couple of years now and apart from feeling the cold more than anyone else and the odd fatigue I have felt fine. I recently hurt my back and asked for a bone density scan. The results were that I had the beginning of osteoporosis After a little research I found that Eltroxin can effect bone density, so now am looking for a natural substance to treat my hashimotos disease.
Try "armour" which is natural thyroid hormones, not synthetic. The added benefit is that it has T1, T2, T3 and T4, whereas Eltroxin is a T4 medicine only.
