Last year, Armour thyroid was changed and the manufacturer neglected to tell the medical community about this change. One day, as I went to my local pharmacy to pick up my prescription, they informed me that it was no longer available. As with my entire journey with Thyroid health, I researched and found out that the medication was on "back order" due to a shortage in Pig thyroid which is the main ingredient. I had been ill for several months wondering why I had returning symptoms and was given no support from my pharmacist or doctor as they really were not aware. I found a pharmacy to "compound" this formulation and for several months felt back to my old self...recently, all my old symptoms of muscle pain, anxiety, sleep problems, fatigue, blah blah blah, returned.... to my horror. I've learned that Pfizer, which is the company that made Armour was purchased by a Canadian company called Erfo. I'm wondering if any of you might be taking the medication they manufacture and how you are feeling? I'm waiting for lab results and curious as to whether I should take this instead of my compounded Rx.
Long story, I know....aren't they all? Thanks!
