Me too, Gale! I am in AL (which I do love, the northern woodsy part of it anyway, which is where I am), transplanted from a 17 year stint in CA which I didn't think I'd miss, but I DO!Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Hey Sam:

Yes, I do know..That is the FIRST thing she did..take me off Armour

and put me on Synthroid and SR T3. She doesn't like Armour because

of the prion contamination, big " spurts " of T3, and she feels that

pts eventually develop either higher Ab counts or Ab's against the

hormone itself (this is something that is in research mode). I

don't think that this is the case for me. Armour does something for

me that nothing else does (maybe due to the T1, T2 and calcitonin).

One of the compounding pharmacies here doesn't like Armour either

and compares it to Premarin saying it is not bioidentical. There

are pharmacies that are compounding SR T4 AND T3 and claiming that

they are " bioidentical " . What I'd love to see is a compounded

Armour-like med that included it all.

I told Vliet that until we got the why's and wherefore's around

excess androgen secretion and TSI Ab increase figured out that I

needed the Armour, it's the only thing that is keeping the

depression at bay.

PRION content, " big spirts " of T3, and not bioidentical, eh? Oh brother.

I have heard so many bizarre " stories " about Armour that I could fill a

book with more pages than War and Peace. Armour is simply desiccated

porcine thyroids. I like to call it a thyroid gland in a pill - that's

really all it is. I can't believe the horror on some doc's faces when

pateints say " I want to take Armour Thyroid " . It's almost like they mess

their pants and have seizures over it. You shold see what they do when I

tell them I'm on 11+ grains (660mg) - it's like their heads spin around

and then explode.

You have TSI abs? That's an iodine deficiency thing.

Thank you. <grinning>

I am going to drive thru new snow (arg) and

get to Vancouver Canada today, because there's

a chocolate cake waiting for me there.

Gael,

AMEN to that!!! I was born in Calif. but moved to Tx at the age of

14. Never the less, I will always be a California girl!

I hope that in my next life I can stay in that part of the country. LOLOL
