I'll tell you what--if you ever have to get on thyroid medication again, demand desiccated thyroid, NOT Levoxyl or any other T4-only med. Desiccated thyroid contains exactly what your own thyroid would be making: T4, T3, T2, T1 and calcitonin. I feel FAR better on desiccated thyroid than I EVER did on Levoxyl. The brand name I'm taking is Armour, but there is also Naturethroid. I also found an excellent website: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com
Hi: Did you stay on thyroid meds are did you stop? I'm in same position, just slightly hypothyroid. Doctor started me on Eltroxin which is just T4 and I feel awful. Wondering if you've tried the natural thyroid meds eg Armour?
