I understand they used micro-crystalline as a filler , and perhaps that may have been part ,or all of the problem?….. My Erfa thyroid was VERY delayed in arriving….. so I had no choice but to at least TRY the compounded one..

After finally receiving the Erfa thyroid…. it took a considerably long time of taking it, …….for me to feel that the hypo symptoms were in fact gradually improving.

I also have Addisons Disease, and now understood for the first time….exactly HOW they were related, thanks to the Stopthethyroidmadness web pages.

It could have been thaT MY TISSUES WERE so low …THAT IT WAS THE REASON I did not feel an improvement for so long? Looking back on it….this is my hypothesis.

After reading up on the ” stop the thyroid madness” web pages ,…and the e mail of the 2 thyroid groups at Yahoo, I began to research whether my chronic symptoms….. like very low body temperature, severely cold hands and feet, crumbling fingernails, falling hair, etc, were also evidence of chronic historical under-treatment.

After starting to feel improved for several weeks ….I began to slowly experiment with slightly additional (natural dessicated) Erfa thyroid throuout the days ………to see if it would bring improvement to those problems.

At present, as a direct result…. I have been running a close-to-normal temperature for the first time in my life, after battling to keep warm maNY TIMES WHEN my body temp WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY ABOVE 95 F,
OR 96 F.degrees .

I’m 70 years old, and starting to feel like a human again.
