I'm new at this "thyroid" game, having had a substernal multinodular goiter removed in April 2004. Parathyroid intact and calcium levels test okay. Having some other "issues". Am taking Synthroid .125mcg, and am interested in trying a more "complete" medication, but Dr. Schwarzbein doesn't like the Armour because the T3 and T4 are in fixed amounts. I wonder if anyone out there has worked with her on Thyroid supplementation in the case of a complete thyroidectomy.
I'll appreciate all responses.

Phyllis have you been to the Schwarzbein forum? I don't know how active it is, but you might find some help there as it relates directly to thyroid. I know Wanda is our resident Schwarbein expert and she's also been diagnosed recently with hypothyroidism - she'll be along shortly 
I would suggest that you have a look through the TopDoc list at thyroid-info; you might be able to find a highly recommended thyroid specialist in your area.
