The thing about it is.....Im not taking thyroid meds. My doc mysteriously decided I didnt need em'!! I was diagnosed in March, TSH was 4.24, went on 30 mg of Armour. A month later, she let me go on phentermine....3 weeks into that, my hair started falling out, and I felt hyper. Went back to dr. had blood drawn (TSH .558), she told me to stop meds...come back in a month and she would retest blood. I did....and my TSH was 2.99....thats when she said..."you dont need it". So I found the shwarbein principle and read it, she states that alot of the same symptoms for hypo, are the same for malnutrition. THis lady subspecializes in thyroid issues. So thats why Im trying this. Im halfway scared about being off meds (now since May 17th). I dont know...guess we will just see how I continue to feel.
