Re: I love Armour Thyroid - HOWEVER

[Guest guest]

Some do; some don't. Some report feeling horrible after taking Armour,

DO NOT take Armour, but rather Synthroid.

In the US you have a right to a written copy of your test results; I

hope you do elsewhere as well. A doctor who refuses would be in deep

doo-doo so a polite request should be enough.
