since i had a stash of Naturethroid...and then got a new RX for Armour for 3

grains a day (and I use 4 grains a day)....I have been taking Armour in the

morning (2 grains) and Naturethroid in the afternoon (1 and 1/2 grains) and

armour or naturethroid in the evening (1/2 grain).

Contact on the purchase info.

Wait, wait....Naturethroid??? Now, where do you get that? Cindi, is

that what you use? ...Armour, too, or not?

I'm feeling so troubled by all of this. I know I probably first have

to find a dr. near me who will work with me. Maybe I'm in denial,

but I'm still wondering if the problems I'm having with hairloss and

anxiety are because of the meno and decline in estrogen,

progesterone, testosterone...and the possibility that I was using too

much or too little of one of my (meno) hormones.

Losing the hair is devastating me.......I can't tell you how affected

I am by this...which I imagine is increasing my anxiety.

If anyone here can guide me or encourage me in some way, I'd be so

thankful. I'm learning so much and taking notes (can't depend on my

memory anymore).

Most of us use Armour IF we can get it. Naturethroid is another natural thyroid

preparation very much the same as Armour, and a name brand just has different

fillers. Then there are Thyroid-S also a natural thyroid but a generic, which

seems to be very close to Armour & Naturethroid in affects. Also there is

Thyroid in Canada, and Time Caps Labs Generic which seems to be no longer

available, and was weaker than Armour. there are also OTC desiccated thyroid

tablets from Nutri Meds but these have an unstated content for thyroid hormones

and are supposed to be much weaker. Hope this clears some of the confusion.

Kathy, My daughters also have the hypothyroid like me. My oldest had terrible

hair loss at age 19-20. The straight t3 stopped it for her. In the meanwhile

as she waited for the meds to work, she also used Nioxin hair products which she

said helped ward off the loss.

Thanks, Alyce. I'm worried that since I've been having this excess

hairloss problem for about 3-4 yrs. now, that I've gone too long

without the right treatment and the hair MAY NOT grow back...I'm so-

ooo worried. But, I will look into the Nioxin products as well...I

used to use the shampoo...not sure if it did that much for me.

Kathy

p.s. straight T3??? is that like Levoxyl? sorry, I'm still

learning.

The scalp treatment and conditioner are the main things - the " actives " .

Levoxyl is t4.

Cytomel is synthetic t3

Ahhhh..Kathy....I do know about the hair loss and the

devastation....sometimes I felt so guilty about it,like I was vain or

something...(especially because of all the people who have taken

chemo)---but then I realized,that it does not matter, this is about

me...and I count too....I must say that the hair loss and the weight

gain...were the two things that saddened me the most(however that

sounds)it is true....and many of the other symptoms,were way more

debilitating than they are, but still.....it is a reckoning....so

sorry about your sadness....jeanne ---OH ,and I got the Naturethroid

because I my doc will not prescribe nearly enuff Armour...
