Thank you for sharing! I was extremely hyperthyroid and allergic to all medicines to treat it. Ended up getting my thyroid removed during COVID (pre-vaccines), and I'm still struggling to get to a "normal" level. Thankfurl for a great endo who listens, but you are so right--it takes months!

Thanks for sharing. I follow Dr Henderson as well and have called my doctor here in Charleston about this issue. Staying hopeful!

Wondering if reaching out to our Congressional representatives in SC would help? Nancy Mace may be on the same thyroid medication??

Have you read the Substack FEED ME by Emily Sundberg? She talks about the Amour Thyroid issue, fyi!

I have a strong dislike of doctors visits, but happily found a doctor I like who works for me! It's so important that your doctor listen to you and not dismiss your 'feelings.'

Thank you for sharing. I have Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism and have also been on Armour for at least 10 years. I can’t imagine going back to a synthetic. I will sign the petition now and talk to my endocrinologist at my next appointment.

I’m so glad it resonated. It’s not always easy to put it out there, but worth it if it helps even one person!
