I had not heard of the new shortage until Shopko Pharmacy called me and said they have no Armour Thyroid available and there won't be any so I should call my Doctor. It's the weekend I can't call my Doctor.  I immediately called Walgreens and they too said there was none available in the 30mg (1 grain), so I proceeded to call CVS Pharmacy and they had enough to fill my prescription so I at least have a supply for one more month.  I am hoping by then this mess will be straightened out. A while back a pharmacist informed me that the pharmaceuticals needed the hormone or something of the pig to manufacture the H1N1 flu shot and that was why there was a shortage.  Now at first when the H1N1 was available to selected persons then there was Armour Thyroid availability.  Now I see that every person is now eligible for the H1N1 flu shot since December, 2009.  So that would mean more vaccination ingredients are needed for that reason.  Now here we sit as Guinea pigs being forced to chose a synthetic drug that will only put us back to where we started before being diagnosed with thyroid disease!  Does anyone care about us?  I am sure many of you share similar other health problems that developed over the years before we were diagnosed with this horrible disease. If the damn drug was used for over 100 years then why can't they just find a simple cure besides hormone replacement.  Like I wrote we live in America and there has to be a solution to this mess. A Better one than what they came up with.
