I am was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism about 2 years ago. I took the radiation treatment and was placed on Synthroid. Every 4 weeks the dosage was adjusted until my Dr doc determined 0.125mcg worked best for me. Well, at the time I was diagnosed I weighted about 150 pounds. Two years later I am at 180. I'm 5'8 so my doctor(s) tell me my weight is in portion to my height. Well, the extra weight is centered around my stomach and hips, I am extremely fatigued and lethargic, I have brain fog and would like to exercise but I'm just too tired. I heard about Armour but from reading some of the other experiences, it doesn't appear to be the 'cure all' solution either.

But Armour IS a cure all!! It gives you back exactly what your own thyroid would be giving you, NOT just T4. I love it!! I notice that when others say Armour is not doing it's job, it's because they either have undiagnosed and untreated adrenal fatigue (which is COMMON for those who've been on Synthroid), or they are not raising high enough because their doc is still going by the terrible TSH lab. You really need to read the Stop the Thyroid Madness site. It has changed my life. The book is even better.
