I am 66 y/o and have dealt with hypothyroidism since I was 20 y/o. Over the years, I too have fluctuated between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism and my dosage has constantly been increased and decreased and at this time I’m on the lowest dosage I have even taken and I feel worse than ever. I’ve taken Synthroid since the beginning of my disease (the generic doesn’t work) but about 3 years ago I was able to convince my Dr to let me try Armour because of all the great results I had read about from others but unfortunately it did not work and I was the sickest I had ever been. My question is, if I were diagnosed with Hashimoto what thyroid medication or other medication would I be prescribed?
Thank you for your time, Pam

Lena,
I live in Michigan…where is temperance located? My husband was diagnosed and we cannot find a good physician for his hashimotos except at UofM.

Hi Becky,
I don’t know where you live but in Temperance, MI there is an amazing doctor by the name of Dr. Woodhouse. I highly recommend him. He’s an MD that uses a naturopathic approach. Other than having me on natural thyroid and Low Dose Naltrexone (which I read about on this website) everything else is vitamins. My life has changed since seeing him. He is a wonderful man, takes all the time in the world to speak to you and I personally don’t find him to be that expensive ($160-200 for the initial visit and than about $130 for follow up visits) he also doesn’t want to see you all the time. He didn’t ask to see me again for 3 months after the initial visit and then 6 months after that. Even if it is pricey, I think to find someone that will actually make you feel like a normal human being again is priceless.
