Barb about my wife's thyroid.

[Guest guest]

She just got back from having a scan on her thyroid her she has Hashimoto's

thyroiditis and yrs. ago even had RAI done. For yrs. she was treated by Endo's

until she could not take it anymore.

At STTM's I went to Armour's web site and found a Dr. that use's Armour she was

better on this but could only take 90 mgs a day.

Two days ago just testing TSH he called her in to his office saying her levels

are all over the place. I told her TSH is not good for telling what is wrong

have them test your Anti's.

Today her Thyroid Peroxidase AB was less then 10 range <=35 IUImL

Her Thyroglobulin AB is 24 high range <=20 IUImL.

She is on Synthroud generic with T3 1/4 of a 5 mcg pill a day.

Now they are talking about trying the new Armour I told her I read people are

not doing very good on this and we should find a better brand like ERFA but she

would not have this covered by the drug plain we have. I got my head bit off

dam if can't get through to her and I think this new Dr. is not any good finding

out all he was testing was her TSH.

She was talking to the women doing the scan and this women told her she has

Hashimoto's thyroiditis and it's bee 20 yrs. She told my wife nothing works.

I tried to tell my wife many people with this problem do fine it's about finding

the right Dr.

What can one do do you know of a good way to treat Hashimoto's thyroiditis I

read once to take NTH meds and drive down TSH so Anti's stop attacking.

She said her Dr. said this is not ture.
