The news about Rob Hur supposedly exonerating Biden just made me think of this reminder.

TheVerboten1, yes I do. Over a decade ago there was a shortage/backorder on Armour. I was advised to substitute Synthroid. I did. It was awful; I could be taking nothing and it would feel the same as Synthroid. But the docs want to see your lab values...my question is: are you going to treat me or the numbers? I hunted around for a few pharmacies and found that some had plenty of Armour. I transferred my script to them and I felt normal again very soon after. Be wary of any MDs that attempt to talk you out of Armour. I had an "excellent" endocrinologist that told me that there is no guarantee that the swine thyroid obtained from each animal is the same quality (these are talking points provided to the docs from the synthetic thyroid-replacement pharmaceuticals). I went after this doc..."so you are saying there is no way to determine quality of the med being produce? Forest Pharmaceuticals has no way of determining quality control for any of their products including Armour thyroid?" She began stuttering. That was the first time and the last time I saw this "top" endocrinologist.
I have read that the Armour desiccated thyroid is superior. When I was about 20 years old I was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism and started on the Armour product 3 grains per day. Somewhere along the line I got switched to synthroid (around age 28, now 71), and then the generic levothyroxine of which I am currently on 150mcg/day. It seems to bounce back and forth from 125 to 150 mcg depending on the current lab result.
I think I will ask my internist next visit about switching to the desiccated thyroid see how it makes me feel.
You may have to fight them to get them to write for Armour as you are already aware.
I'll take my boxing gloves with me. lol
