Thoughts on my symptoms....

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with Hashi's 15 years ago and finally put on the " old " Armour 3

years ago. I felt better but not 100%. I never had the distinct opportunity to

try the new Armour because my endo said that people were having problems with it

so he put me on NT. That didn't work. Then I got my family practicioner to let

me try Erfa and compounded. NONE of these worked. I feel worse than I have

ever felt before. I've gained 15 pounds in the past 6 months, which was right

about the same time that I started NT. So here are my symptoms, tell me what

you think....

Menstrual cycle-When I was on the Old Armour, I would have 2 periods a month!

Then last spring I went back to one. Then it's just been one since until now!! I

was supposed to start on the 28th but I started on the 19th! UGH!
