I've been on Armour Thyroid, which is a natural, bio-identical thyroid medication for about a month now. I don't know what it's doing for my hormones but I feel so good it's crazy! I started a natural progesterone prescription yesterday that, in combination with the Armour, is supposed to regulate not only my estrogen/testosterone imbalance but also help address my adrenal fatigue. I treat insulin resistance with diet/exercise and with the other treatments in place it's a lot easier than it used to be and IT'S WORKING! I refuse to ever take Met again, regardless of my insulin levels, etc because it makes me sick and run down so I have no choice but to treat with diet/exercise. It's a little more motivating than taking those pills.
