Thyroid Issues

Not one to rely on medication, I found that my thyroid shriveled. Diagnosis: Hashimoto's Disease.


Hashimoto's Disease sent me on a journey. Initially I was on Synthroid. After a month, I demanded Armour. Worked like a charm until Forest Labs reformulated Armour. I found information that enabled me to make decisions that work. The outcome was Naturthroid/Westhroid. My doctor listens, advises but ultimately, I make the final decision.



Upon waking at 5:30am, I take my Natural Desiccated Thyroid . It has been difficult to obtain the last few months due to a shortage of porcine powder. I was running out of the meds. Advised by my mail-in pharmacy to switch to Synthroid, I researched for a compounding pharmacy. Lo and behold, I found one a half a mile away. I felt like a little girl receiving a Madam Alexander doll, dressed in a gold gown with a crown of diamonds on her head.


I opened the medicine bottle, closed it, opened it, closed it. Smiling like the Cheshire Cat, I was in 7th heaven. I have my medicine.
