    Well, it looks like no one has posted on this site in 3 years. Where did y'all go??? Please tell me thyroid meds did not kill you!!! I've been on Levothyroxine for 2 years, on The Synthroid brand, the past 4 months. And just last week, I talked my doctor into prescribing me Armour Thyroid. He did so, but with reluctance!! Today was day 2 on Armour 60 mg's. And I feel just as crappy! Maybe even worse! Severe sweating episodes on and off, then feeling really hot and flushed, esp. around my face. Which even looks puffy. After just 2 days on Armour. I thought I was doing the right thing for my hypothyroidism by asking for this drug. But after reading all comments here, I'm not so sure. I'm thinking it's because the Armour is of the new formula, now. At first it all sounded promising, but those post were from 2009 & 2010. The last 4 or 5 comments written say that, now that Armour is back, it is not the same. The bottle does stink inside. Is that the way the old Armour was? As far as the taste, I swallow it, so I haven't noticed a taste. Is it suppose to have a sweet taste??? I am so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!!!! I felt ok before I was diagnosed with hypothyroid and put on the meds!! I wish I'd never taken anything for it, to begin with. And just allowed my body time to correct itself. In 2010 I weighed 125 pounds. NOW I weigh 164.3 pounds!!!! Levothyroxine didn't help, Synthroid didn't help, no matter how many times my doctor "tweaked" the dosage. And now Armour is not at all, what I thought it would be. What the hell is happening to us women? And why are we the ones who suffer from hypothyroidism? Why don't many men get it?? I have 5 sisters and they don't have it. Why me???? I want my body back. I want to feel normal again! I have no sex drive, no energy, brain fog all the time! No patience. Moody as all get out. Thank God, I have no hair loss or really bad dry skin! So makes me wonder if I really am hypothyroid. PLEASE, somebody, anybody, write me back. TELL me what to do now!?!?!
