Close Hypothyroidism

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2006.

Treatments

Armour Thyroid Working / Worked

My hair finally started growing back in when I was put on Armour Thyroid. It's been about a year now and although it's growing back mostly grey/white, I'm thrilled! This is the third treatment plan I've tried and I think I've finally found the cure--as long as I can find it at the pharmacy. I've been having to cut pills to get the correct dose almost all summer because of shortages.

Cytomel Somewhat Helpful

This improved my symptoms immensely over using synthroid alone, however I broke out in a rash all over my torso after about a month. I'm allergic to it! It contains talc, so I think that may be the problem.

Synthroid Not Working

Helped with my menstrual symptoms, but many symtoms remained and my hair started falling out worse! I kept wondering when I'd start feeling better months after my TSH was "normal".

B-Complex Vitamins Working / Worked

This gives me the energy to get through a long day. I take a dose with my lunch and I can fight the urge for the afternoon snooze.

Close Asperger Syndrome

Just learned what Asperger's is and believe it runs in my family: Myself, my daughter, my mother, a couple of her brothers...
