I was on Armour thyroid but since the present issues of getting it (i
asked my pharmacist about problems with the Armour he said it's a
materials issue) they dont have enough materials to make it he said.
It's funny in the past i was on Thyrolar and was doing great on it and
then they stopped making it too (in the past) and had to finally be
put on Armour. Funny now it's having problems. Does Forest labs
think we are stupid, natural thyroid is better, now they are having
troubles with Armour. Most doctors prescribe the synthetic with no
problems (isn't that funny). Oh and i asked the pharmacist yesterday
about Thyrolar now (nope no problems with it he says). Me rolling my
eyes!! UGH!! Now i am going to my doctor to have him write a
prescription for the Thyrolar now hopefully they wont have anymore
problems!! Is anyone else having problems that has been on the natural
for a while?? I have been on it for at least a year now. Does anyone
else see that doctors seem to have no problems wanting to put you back
on synthetic?? That's usually their first answer!! I think not!! I
like the natural hormone better.

I would also be interested to know what the status is in different places of
getting Armour. I am not on it but may consider switching to it soon. I
don't want to set myself up for trouble, though.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

I'm in DC and have absolutely no problems getting it. Keep hearing
about it on this board and wondering if it's going to happen here.

I take 90 mg in the morning and 30 mg at night. No problems with
either of those doses - I understand it's certain doses that might be
hard to get....?

On Mary Shomans site it says some of the doses are still available not
all are unavailable but my dose (120 mg) is hard to get. If your
having troubles getting it she has several ways to try to get it
through other sources if you need to.

But i am just going to see if my doctor will write my prescription
tomorrow for the Thyrolar again and just get back on it.
