I take the Armour Thyroid meds. And I love them. However I was contacted by my doctor and pharmacy today because Armour Thyroid is being discontinued. They are no longer going to make it. So I am being switched to Synthroid. I already suffer from Migraines ever so often. When I get them if i dont catch it soon enough im out of comission for days at a time. So Through some herb healing books and secret remedies. I found that if you get a headache or migraine drink 2- 8 ounce glasses of Gatoraid immediately. Its basically because your body is in some form dehydrated and it cuts off the circulation to your brain. I dont know how true all that is. But it seems to work..
Hope this helps. I hope that I dont get this side effect of the synthroid drug
NO, THEY ARE NO DISCONTINUING ARMOUR!! The FDA cracked down on their makers, Forest Labs, because of a bad batch a year ago. It's taken them this long to jump through all the FDA hoops. As a result, it's hard to get. But it will be out again better. Besides, you can still get Naturethroid or Westhroid. Google the Stop the Thyroid Madness site. It's so full of good information, as is the book, which is even better. I highly recommend it.
I think I have already sent you a message. but i'm curious how are you doing since taking the armour thyroid? i'm looking to try something different also myself. my doc didn't recommend the armour because she said there isn't a way to check if it works or not, but i've read how alot of people feel better? can you/someone shed so more light for me please?
