Underactive Thyroid
"With both parents hypothyroid, I was diagnosed hypothyroid at 7 years old, so have 50  years of personal experience with thyroid medicines.  Armour Thyroid is absolutely the best in my opinion. Doctors tried to &quot;fool my body&quot; with assorted synthetic products, but my system (&amp; Mom&#039;s) did not do the T3-T4 conversion.  On top of the usual problems of being functionally underdosed I developed worse results:  thrombocytopenia (critically low platelets), high cholesterol, inability to metabolize calcium leading to lower bone density than my own mother.  On Synthroid one Internal Medicine doctor even wondered if I had Hashimoto&#039;s Disease.  Use Armour.  Treat the patient."
