    Question:   I have been taking Levothyroxal for about 10 years. I have recently bullied a doctor into changing me to Armour Thyroid. I have been using it for about 20 days. I feel so much better! What reasons do doctors have to object Armour?    Dr. McLaughlin's Answer


    Question:   I am 31 years old and diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I take Synthroid and feel good at my .076 mcg dosage. Whenever I exercise vigorously, however, I feel hypothyroid symptoms the next day (mostly that brain fog thing where you feel woozy and can't concentrate or think straight). I noticed this after riding a 150 mile bike tour but now notice it more mildly even after brief (1 hour) vigorous exercise. Is this related and what can I do about it?    Dr. McLaughlin's Answer
