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 also am on Synthroid and experiencing hair loss. I ask my Endocrin. if he would switch me to Armour and he said "no". He also thinks Synthroid is better. How can I get switched to Armour and is it as hard to get dosage right as the Synthroid is??? I am tempted to order the Armour on internet, any suggestions??
Thanks, Ann

When you switched to Armour, did you have hair loss for a while? That is what my endoc. doctor is telling me that would happen if I switched from Synthroid to Armour??? Help
