Megazoid is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Thyroid Medication (Levo/Armour)

I am still waiting on getting back the results from my test's both in the states and here in the UK. Only one thing has been on my mind since seeing Marianco is the whole T4 only vs Armour thyroid thing.

I posted a few times over at stopthethyroidmadness website and literally everyone is against the T4 only drugs like levothyroxine. Dr M prescribed me levothyroxine but with so much negative press about it i feel Armour would be a better option? I trust Dr M a great deal, he's the world's leading hormone doctor so i know i should trust his judgment but it's really difficult to truelly decide what to do. i know there must be a reason for putting me on this but why would adrenals be of concern if i am running it alongside prednisone?

I feel i truelly need to start making thing's better instead of worse because my skin, libido, ed and joints are all getting worse instead of better and it's quite a scary experience.

I sent Dr M an email but he's most likely busy right now so i am still awaiting his opinion on this.
