there's some literature about the connection between having a hysterectomy

and thyroid decline.

Usually Armour or Naturethroid (same thing mostly) gets to a person in a few

weeks.

I'd start with 1/2 grain for two weeks - and then up to 1 grain and hold it

for 4 weeks to see if you felt a difference.

If so, then you'd want to work towards your optimal dose.
