Thanks so much for your kind responses. Here is a little background on my 14 year-old daughter. After her Feb 2012 thyroidectomy she was put on Levothyroxine. By the Fall of 2012, her endo was pleased with her lab results and her daily dosage of Levothyroxine 100mg. She was feeling lethargic, her thinking process and auditory skills were a little slow. Despite her symptoms, her
endocrinologist stated her lab results are good ( TSH 0.9 and T4 1.6) and they were not going to change the dosage.
We then visited another endocrinologist who prescribed Armour. We have been trying pork thyroid since January 2013. We’ve seen a little improvement, I am grateful for that. But she still struggles with her energy levels, auditory skills, lapse in thinking process and sometimes her long term memory skills. As far as her auditory skills is like she hears every sound around but it’s hard for her to focus on that one person’s voice or sound she needs to be attentive to. Overall, I’m not so certain Armour has suited her well. In our initial visit her new endo mentioned the possibility of using bioidentical hormones (plant-based).
Please let me know your thoughts. I’d like to help her navigate these years and help her reach a reasonable level of health and wellness.
Many, many thanks. I’m most grateful resourceful group.

P.S.: Is there a way to receive emails for forum posts. I am good at checking my emails but at times between homeschooling and mothering our four little cuties, I don’t get to visit this wonderful forum as often as I wish. Thanks much!
