Believe me, Forrest has heard from many unhappy people but they are too stubborn to change the formula back, claim they only changed the fillers and that this should have no effect on the potency. Take a look at Erfa Thyroid from Canada, where I get mine now. It has the fewest fillers of them all, is in good supply, and you can order from an online pharmacy with your doctor's prescription (do some price shopping, different pharmacies...

I think you are a male in your 50's? If I were you, and with that profile, and those reports it would drive me insane watching this thing and thinking about it, and I'd rather get it out---because hurthle cancer can spread and is a bit harder to control than other types.

i have the symptoms you mentioned in your first post too. i am hypo thyroid.....i see a natural path md doctor who orders all the required blood work i need. all that is covered by my insurance i usually only have to pay about 300 and i know the bloodwork cost about1500 to 2000...bc the lab ladies are always like...she sure did order a large panel. my doctor does not take insurance i hve to submit that myself but the good news is the bloodwork...

Keep an eye on this situation though - it may be you're subclinical HyperT (if you're not on HypoT meds that is).

Julius, I found a doctor who requested the full lab work, he's a private doctor, so I'm a paying customer so to speak. I'm sure you can request your needed blood tests should you pay for them. I'm not entirely sure how it works without a doctor. You can always call and ask your doctor will he do it if you pay yourself, or even call the lab or local clinic. Somewhere on here is a complete list of the blood tests I had done,...

I recently went to the GP and he said my thyroid was normal. My TSH was 2.43. He referred me to an endocrinologist but the endo doesn't want to seem because everything appears normal. I just bought a saliva test to test my Cortisol. So we will see. I am so frustrated because I know something is wrong. Symptoms: foggy thinking heart palpatations allergies anxious weight gain (abdomen) constipation low blood pressure night sweats memory...

I just wanted to add that the pain is very concentrated to the organ within my body, it isn't muscular. It is also a stabbing sharp pain most of the time, but also throbs.

I have Graves' disease and live in northern NJ - I was Dx'd in June 2007 and have had problems finding a decent doc. Three endos "down" - just met with an internist today who understood everything but isn't familiar with the type of meds regimen I might need (combination ATD and T4). She is "with it" enough, though to order me the Free T4 and Free T3 test as well as antibodies! I went hyPO on...

Confusa, thanks for the reply. Are you saying I can control this without meds if I change my lifestyle for a while? I hate taking meds but I want to feel normal again. I cannot get my BP machine to register the bottom number, but I think the top is in the 1-teens because that is when it initially starts beeping. Weeks ago when I was feeling at my worst, the top number was 106. I decided to mix in a short, easy run today because I thought I was...

Just got script filled Saturday - we will see in a couple of days.
