Close Hypothyroidism
I was diagnosed with hypothyroid in 2000; after many years of complaining about the medical symptoms I was having. I did well until 2005 when I ended up in the emergency room with edema; I found a new doctor and she tested me for reverse T3 and put me on Armour and Levoxyl. I have been feel so much better and have crossed many hurdles with my doctors help.
Treatments
- Armour Thyroid Working / Worked
- The best med I have ever taken; helped me take back my life and health.
- Synthroid Working / Worked
- I take a combination of Levoxyl with Armour. This has brought my count down from 5.35 to 1.3. I had taken Levoxyl by itself peviously and did not feel healthy.
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I was finally diagnosed with hypothyroid in 2000; May 2005 I ended up in the ER due to complications of improper treatment. I was cleared by my new doctor to start a diet in November 2006 and since then have lost about 26 pounds. I started out on WW but have switched to ABs diet for women. I walk about 30 minutes a day and 3 weeks ago my doctor said that I could start a moderate low impace exercise program. I am excited! I want to get healthy again.
