I was diagnosed with low thyroid. My dr put me on a synthetic thyroid med that made my stomach hurt and by the end of the day it would be hard and uncomfortable. I asked to be switched to armor thyroid meds. They worked wonderful for about 2 months then I began getting stomach issues again.
Sat after taking my armor my stomach began to hurt and by bedtime sat night I was so bloated I looked 5 months pregnant. Constipation has been an issue during this 2 month period too. Sunday I felt some better but did not take my thyroid pill nor did I take it this morning.
My stomach is getting better and I have been to the bathroom several times.
I have seen on the net where many women are having the same issues as I was. No where can I find that armor causes stomach issues. But they seem to be related to me since I am feeling better off the meds.
My question is, will I be ok to just drop the meds? My thyroid was not real low. I am taking green coffee extract for energy now. Is the anything I could take to help my thyroid to function on its own?
The meds were not helping with my weight and I was having more joint issues too on the meds. Has anyone had any experience with these issues. I am in peremenepause too, if that matters.
Thanks for any advise you can share.
