Mel welcome to the forum!
Just wanted to say...thyroid meds have saved me...took awhile but i'm happy to say my TSH went from 9.56 to 0. I am now on Armour and I have insurance..but my co-pay is 15 and the meds are not that much..so i pay on my own. I was on the rise with my weight....went from 170 - 212. Started on Synthroid.....did nothing. With the help of the web and this forum...I got on Armour and am losing. Now at 190 with alot of hard work. It's not easy being a thyroid disease person. If you need help..please let me know! Best of luck!
