Hi everyone. I am not looking for medical advice. I am hoping to connect with others who may have been diagnosed as hypothyroid in the past, and have been able to transition off of thyroid medication after adopting Dr. McDougall's eating plan. (Starch Solution)
I was diagnosed as hypothyroid in 2008. Since that time, I have been taking natural dessicated thyroid (NDT) replacement medication (currently Nature throid, previously Armour).
If anyone has had experience coming off of this type of medication, or even synthetic thyroid medication (i.e. Synthroid) I would love to just hear about your personal experience.
It has become increasingly difficult to maintain a relationship with a doctor who will precsribe NDT. I'm not convinced that I want to go through a transition to synthetics. I would really rather get off of this merry-go-round all together if that seems possible.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share experience with this issue!
