Everyone out there, try Armour Thyroid!!! I was changed to Synthroid (because my endo only believed in it) a few years ago, and put on 15 pounds and lost half of my hair. I work out at least 6 days a week, run 3-4 miles a day, and live on salad. I asked my regular MD to switch me to Armour, and in three weeks, my hair stopped falling out, and I'm losing weight. I was losing, yes, I counted, at least 45 hairs a day when I combed my hair after my shower (and I'm not counting the clumps that came out in the shower). Now, maybe when I wring my hair out in the shower, only one will come out and less than 15 in my comb. Ask you doctor to just try it, and if it doesn't work, you can always go back. I swear by it. I'm happy all the time again, where I have just been monotone for the last few years, and I'm thrilled. Good luck!!!

Gayet - I had my thyroid removed 40 years ago and was on Armour med for years. My endoc. doctor also told me to start taking Synthroid because he said that the Armour pills weren't consistent and each pill would have different 'parts' of the pig in them. He said synthetic pills are proven to all have the same amount of millegrams, thus keeping your medication always at the same level and giving you less chance of mood swings, hair loss, etc.
