Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal
"I have been on some form of thyroid for 20 years.  First I was on Armour then Synthroid.  But what changed all that was my thyroid cancer diagnosis 6 months ago.  They kept me on Synthroid, and never told me there was a difference.  It seems to me that you need T4 and T3, which armour provides.  I felt so achy after my surgery.  Everyday my body hurt and I was do tired and absent minded.  Also I have had weight gain. Went to a different doctor last week and have switched to Armour.  We shall see.  The main difference I feel so far is less body aches.  That is wonderful to me!"
