Underactive Thyroid (hypothyroidism) Experiences and doctors

    I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid last year and I took levothyroxine for a few months which left me feeling ten times worse than what I was. I stopped taking them and got my bloods done again and they returned back as normal even though I still felt horrible.

    I have been living with symptoms of an underactive thyroid and not taking meds for nearly 2 years now because I know I will only be prescribed levothyroxine again by my GP which will leave me feeling worse.

    Now however I have done plenty of research and would like to get my bloods done again, testing for thyroid levels and autoimmune diseases and adrenal fatigue.

    If my thyroid levels return as low I would like to try taking a different type of medication called Armour which has an extremely high reputation for making people with hypothyroidism feel better.

    The problem with Armour however is that it's very hard to get a prescription for it here in Ireland.

    Since I know my doctor will refuse to prescribe me with Armour I would like to find one that will (preferably in Connacht).

    I also would love to hear from anybody else who has hypothyroidism and their experience with different doctors, endocrinologists, supplements and medications.
