Article: Doctors Who Don't Listen to What Part About This Medication Doesn't Work for Me Do You Not Understand?

The following is a good article posted by Mary Shomon (Save Natural Thyroid Hormone). I can totally relate to the letter in that it discusses a patient informing a doctor that they will not take Synthetic Thyroid Hormone. Many health care professionals just don't get that some of us just don't do well on Synthetic Thyroid Hormone. There is a difference. I just wish I had known that sooner.

Shortage of Natural Thyroid Hormone

The following message is in regards to the shortage and the future, potential unavailability of Natural Thyroid Hormone.

"We must unite and fight!!! We need better care by our Endocrinologists in the first place. Now, we need to ensure that patients' Endocrinological care gets better. We must ensure that Natural Thyroid Hormone only gets better and doesn't go away. Maybe, this is a blessing in disguise--as long as it doesn't last.

I can see the magazine articles, 'How would you like it if a medicine you needed to live was not available?' or 'Why Do Patients With Thyroid Disorders Receive Such Poor Quality of Care?' or 'Why Are Patients Who Have Thyroid Disorders Being Forced to Take Synthetic Thyroid Hormone?'...And the list of potential titles could go on and on. Let's bring the spotlight on this situation.

Let's make history: 'Facebook and Twitter Unite People who suffer from Thyroid Disorders.'"

Another Desiccated Thyroid Hormone Medication Shortage

I am seriously worried. Once again there is a shortage of Desiccated Thyroid Hormone products. Currenty, I am taking Armour Thyroid. As many people, I do not do well on Synthetic Thyroid Hormone. There are other disturbing rumors that I'm hearing regarding Desiccated Thyroid Hormone and the FDA (i.e. the FDA may be trying to take Desiccated Thyroid products off of the market). I pray this doesn't happen. While, I don't feel perfectly on any Thyroid medication, it would be a very sad day if I were forced to take Synthetic Thyroid Hormone. I hope and pray that I am never faced with that alternative. For more information, visit:
