Buying Armour on-line

I found  company from the United Kingdom called IA, International Antiaging that sells many drugs including Forrest Armour thyroid, I was thinking of buying this here because none of my Dr's will help me and I am sick and tired of feeling so sick and tired,  Anyone know about this copany and if it is legitimate??
Thanks

This is not a site I'm familiar with, at all.  According to the site, the products are produced in the U.S and the E.U; however, they are shipped from Hong Kong; therefore, I'd be extremely leery if I were really getting what I order.  

Also, when I tried to look at the Armour, the page kept taking me to NatureThroid, so it looks like they don't really have Armour.

I saw some good reviews and some poor ones.

It's not really a good idea to start self medicating unless you know a whole lot about how the thyroid works and how to dose medications.

Perhaps if you could post your most recent thyroid labs, with their corresponding reference ranges, we could help you figure out why you're feeling so poorly.  Also, please include whatever symptoms you have.

If you tell us exactly where you're located, we might be able to help you find a doctor that can help you.

I have dealt with IA anti aging systems for a couple years they're good company, but right now they are out of stock and they're getting their medications out of Hong Kong naturethroid and erffa.As a result I too am trying to find a company that I can buy Armour Thyroid.

I hope you find relief soon .... PM me if you'd like ... I don't have names of actual Armour Endo's but have an idea of some endo's in NJ if you need help.

There are so may people and so many symtoms and most times a living hell (until euthroid)  that we tend to search for ANYTHING that will make us feel better.
You are not alone in doing this.
Many times in the past, I have felt like he// and considered trying 'this' or 'that' and then realised that it can also sometimes be dangerous.
Most Doctors dont listen or dont want to listen to how we feel or how we live and thyroid problems are so depressing and can be acutely debilitating.
Dont try anything until fully researching first and usually the 'stuff' advertised online is something that hasnt been passed by the Food and Drugs Act so its contents are dangerous unless your Doctor has been consulted on it.
This is your life that you are dealing with and all I can say is.....
Be careful of what you take to fix your thyroid problem. Not all things are an instant 'fix' and can do more harm than good.
Be patient (yes I have heard that word for years) but it truly does pay off if you really want wellness. Also educate yourself by researching anything and everything you can but also keep an open mind that everything you read online is 'Gospel'.
It isnt.
I wish you well in your search for wellness and good health and to be honest , I wish this site would close down due to lack of members.
Then I would be the happiest person alive knowing that everyone was 'well' and didnt need this site.
But there will always be people who do 'make it to the end of the elusive rainbow' and I am one of them.
And as long as I breathe air, I will put all the knowledge I know into this site and if I can help  at least one person, then I will be happy.
I wish you all a speedy road to good health but always be kind to yourself, believe in yourself and fight until you feel you have done yr best and are at the end of the long dark tunnel.
Because there really is light at the end of the tunnel.
I have been stable for some time now with thyroid levels...as for the weight, I gained 16 kgs prior to RAI and lost probably 2kgs since I had it (8 mths ago).
I gave up searching for a weight loss program, I watch what I eat but even though I still have some weght on me...I am happy.

I know you are all right, that is why I did not buy it, I just thought maybe, just maybe it was a way to get it/ I actually have an appt. 3/27, two hrs from my house and not covered by my insurance. I asked my primary  care dr for it yesterday and she shook her head and mumbled about the dosages! I even had a conversion chart with me! I am going 3/13 for a FNA of my nodular goiter to r/o cancer and hopefully after that get my meds adjusted so I feel somewhat better. I feel horrible. Everyday is a struggle. I am enraged by how I have been treated medically and can see that there are hundreds of people like me suffering with this disease. Thanks for listening.

In NJ there are Armour thyroid doctors -  This is not a way of getting on a med - both medical reasons and health concerns.

If ever you were to have an issue and need emergency medical assistance - they will not put you on the med and you will suffer terribly.

Hi, I'm i the UK and have never heard of this company, armour thyroid is very rarely used in this country as far as i'm aware and definately not without a prescription! would be very wary!

do not recomend this

I would never buy out of country for any med needed by prescription. You have no idea where it is really coming from and where made. Scary out there.
You are better off searching for a better dr and taking a good thyroid support supplement to begin with.
Do you have your most recent lab results you can share with us?
