I'm not sure what you mean by "raw" thyroid. Are you referring to dessicated thyroid med, such as Armour or NaturThroid?
Hi Kim,
I live in Strongsville and just had my thyroid removed a week ago. I have a great endo in Fairview Park her name is Nancy McBride. I had expressed interest in natural thyroid replacement because of all that I had read. Through much discussion Nancy and I decided that Synthroid + Cytomel was the way for me to start. I expressed my need for a T3 component right out of the gate and she listened and agreed!! She's a great doctor.
