Actually, I should like to try Armour myself and am currently

prescribed 125mcg thyroxine a day. My thyroid function is tested at

least once a year. I know there is a lot of criticism of these tests,

but they do have some value, nonetheless.

I wanted to post a warning about taking thyroxine or Armour without

having regular tests. My sister had a patient who had a massive stroke

and is very disabled; it was found that this was because his GP had

over-prescribed thyroxine and had failed to monitor him with an annual

blood test. There was a massive payout from the PCT.

PS Sandy, thank you for that link. It is very interesting and I have

wondered about trying to see Dr Skinner myself, in order to convert

from thyroxine to Armour. (BTW I suppose you know Dr Skinner has

restrictions on his registration with the GMC following a fitness to

practice hearing. I read the report on the GMC website - there was no

allegation anyone had suffered permanent harm by his prescribing but 2

patients were thyrotoxic and he continued to prescribe. Interestingly,

it was not Armour that was being prescribed.)
