To DNA I think you didn't read the question properly. I WAS on Synthroid and it didn't agree with me at all. NOT Armour. I'm going to see if my doctor will try me on Armour though. any more advice is most welcome

The best natural method is actually a medication. It's called Armour thyroid and it has been around for over 100 years. It works great. I've been on it for over 4 years with great results. I originally ws on Levoxyl and it did nothing for my symptoms. Links below.
While I don't think Synthroid is a good medication, why did your doctor say you could not take it? Anyway, if you want something natural that's been around for years look into Armour. I love it!
I just wanted to add in response to your comment......For many who use Armour thyroid they need to split the dosage in half, so there's not too mch T3 all at once. If you were taking it all at once that explains it. I gues I read the folowup wrong...sorry about that.
I added another couple of useful links

no you have to take medicine to replace the hormones your thyroid is not producing. low thyroid levels is called hypothyroidism and it can cause weight gain, hair loss, dry skin and cause you to feel tired all the time. I have had this condition for 6 yrs. I take my meds and i get my level checked every 6 months to see if i need to change my dose. if i take my meds everything is fine the only problem i see is that the hair thinning is still present.
there is more than one medication for this problem

I don't know I have alway taken medication for mine. I take 1.75 mg of synthriod, for the past 14 years. Without it I feel tired and my skin is dry and my hair gets thin.

No, you need the medication. Don't believe anything else that is written. Being hyperthyroid is dangerous. Are you really or just on the low level of normal?
