I've been on synthetic thyroid for about 6 years now. I can't find a doctor who will prescribe Armour. They all seem to be afraid. They say it is too hard to regulate. I added Cytomel about 9 months ago and finally bumped the synthroid up to .75 from .5. My skin is so much better and my mind seems to be clearer.

20 pounds! Fantastic! Keep up the good work!

I've been a poor Atkins/SS/whatever candidate, having fallen off the wagon repeatedly, but not regained any weight. I've lost a consistent 8 pounds since December. I'm trying to get into ketosis again and drop another few. At this rate...hmm....I could be thin in about 20 years...:-)
