I was given 50mcg of Thyroxine when I was first diagnosed and I'm now up to 200mcg Some of my symptoms have improved but lots haven't, I'd like to give armour a try but not sure how to go about it. I'm in the UK so I doubt my Doctor would prescribe it. Would I have to stop taking the thyroxine altogether or just reduce it?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hi Celticstar, I am a U.K. patient. I would say unless you have an old style doctor, who has moved with the times, and has not thrown the baby out with the bath water, they may be more susceptible to letting you try Armour. Sadly , my experience in the U.K. has been a woefully arrogant attitude from doctors of roughly my age, and doodle squat from younger ones. One doc said when I went to her with overwhelming fatigue, said 'Whoa! don't ask me anything about the thyroid, I can't help you!!! Good luck though, if you can find a doctor who doesn't push what Pharma are pushing him/her to promote. Val.
