i haven't written here in along while been feelin pretty good and recently switched from synthyoid to armour aka natural thyroid replace am actully feelin human i have enegry to go to work come home clean cook and exercise it's AMAZING!!! but my question is about my blood work its has always been border line hyper i think but i continued to feel like a slug .... my latest results were TSH .40 T4 free .95 T3 free 442
was wondering how birth control would affect these results of course u can never get a straight answer for such a thing from the doctor.

i was also using the asthma board and my cough is FINALLY gone after a year lung doc put me on attrovent nasal spray and its done the trick.......

I'M FINALLY FEELING HUMAN!!!! thanks in advance for any input VIC

Hi vic - it's always so great to hear from someone who is finally feeling better! And I'm so glad the armour thyroid worked well for you. I think it helps people to know that different things work for different people! Here's an interesting site about Armour: http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/arm1029.htm

The birth control info is down a bit. My own gut feeling would be that you have just found a balance that works for oyu and is helping you to feel great. Why mess with it by introducing another hormone into your system? That's just my own personal opinion based on nothing but knowing how terrible is to feel bad from being hypo and how difficult it is to deal with our hormones. I have to go to sleep now but it I find other info - like WHY it's not a good interaction, I'll post it for you tomorrow. Cathy :)
