I knew that Armour Thyroid was backordered for a long time.  But I never understood why.  I took Synthroid for years and changed to Armour Thyroid about 15 years ago. Without knowing I'd changed medications, my daughter mentioned that I didn't seem depressed the way I had for so many years.  And I knew I felt better in general on Armour Thyroid.

But I have been having difficulties for a few months now.  From this site it seems that my problems may be related to a new formulation of the Armour Thyroid.  News to me!  Today I was told that Armour Thyroid is going off the market completely.  How truly awful.  And with Government-controlled "health care" there will be no choice for thyroid meds or any others; the government -- meaning some clerk or bureaucrat -- will decide what medications will be available for everyone.  And the decisions will be made on the basis of lobbying/money.  We are all in for bad times it would appear.  Write your congressmen and senators telling them you do not want the government or anyone else telling you what you should do about your own health care.
