Natural thyroid, a.k.a. pig thyroid brand information :
Armour Thyroid was never banned, but there have been shortages of every brand of thyroid medicine for the last 15 years, you just never know which one it’s going to be. Even the synthetics have shortages sometimes, it’s ridiculous.
The natural thyroids like Armour Thyroid we’re subject too new filler ingredients about
12 years ago,, this is so they would not shake apart in the FDA shaker table test. The new filler reformulation of all natural thyroid sold in America, did seem to make for some absorbing issues and it did not work as well for patients but still worked enough for most people. Nature Throid brand by RCL labs was not available in a couple years ago I did not keep track of when that was correct it or not. Acella makes NP thyroid which is what I use. And the other natural thyroid is ERFA which was purchased by Pfizer and is from Canada. about
five years ago I used to take that too with a prescript
ion that was emailed across the border and they sent it to me.
As far as doctors taking full control of a patient’s thyroid dose, the patient really needs to learn and keep track of where they feel best in the FT3 and FT 4 ranges. The TSH level should also be taken into consideration but in addition to the previous two T levels. Never go by just TSH alone.
FT3 and FT4 are cell consumable hormones. TSH is just a signal it is nothing that your cells use for energy.
If you are low but still in the range of the two hormones that can still create low energy. T3 or tested as FT3 can be very tricky. Givein too much, it is like a short narcotic dose, high energy for a short time. This will tire you out later on as well and can create jitteriness and anxiety. Low thyroid hormones can also create jitteriness and anxiety, many doctors are not aware of this.
And if there are elevated thyroid antibodies, there are three to test, that can point to autoimmune thyroid which then quite often responds positively to dietary limitations such as going gluten free. Well that is the case eating gluten-free well actually lower or sometimes illuminate the elevated antibodies.
The antibody tests are TPO, TGAB, and TSI. High TPO and TGB are found in Hashimoto’s autoimmune hypothyroid.
TSI is usually only graves autoimmune hyperthyroid but in some cases , if paired with the other two that are also elevated then that would be Hashimoto.
Considering all the above, the symptoms very much overlap with the many variations of tick illness symptoms, some are the same. And tick illness can cause all the above in some cases.

In my case as someone who’s been on this planet for more than five decades. I knew something was wrong with me since childhood as far as my Health goes.
I was smart enough to comepare myself to other kids my age and even ask Symptoms questions. That’s when I discovered that what I had were actually symptoms of something that other kids did not have.
Drs unsuccessfully Treated my Hashimoto’s in the late 1990s With typical synthetic thyroid. It made no difference at all to my symptoms. I am 99% certain I also had tick illness then.
about
15 years ago I started treating Hashimoto’s low thyroid with various brands of pig natural thyroid. There were many more brands back then at least eight in America counting the generics. They worked Better and I had some symptoms go away,but we’re sometimes hard to getMany times on back order etc. and then were subject to FDA reformulation in 2009 which made them harder to get again.
Fast forward from that time to around 2015 when I finally seen an LLMD for tick infections. After numerous lengthy efforts to get my gut working correctly and going after the infections with many antibiotics, my combined symptoms slowly improved.

Like many previously here who left, I had about
a 90% improvement in overall health (five or six years ago). The last 10% is just always there and I’m getting older every day so it’s probably the way it will be.
