Tiny, I am VERY interested in hearing about your experience on Armour though 10 years. Things like...how long did it take to initially get your dose right? How often do you have your blood levels tested, and how often do you find you have to adjust doseage? Any negative side effects in 10 years time? etc. etc. etc. I'm also curious whether you test your other hormone systems (esterogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol..are there others?) or if you are only working with Thyroid. I'm finding this to be facinating.
It makes me angry at the main stream medical community at large that we have to do all this work on our own to find relatively simple and inexpensive treatments for such a common problem. If it's not patentable, the pharmaceutical companies aren't interested - in fact they want to derail natural alternative. And the majority of docs don't fight for this stuff (nor in many cases even understand it!) either. The US health care system truly is f*%&ed up.
