T-4 only medicines

I was reading about Oprah and her deal with thyroid. I had to come here and post this though. What if I took my labs(yes, my dog) T-4 medicine? LOL, I wouldn't really do it but why did it help her? I am so close to going back to the MD again for more labs. I just always end up borderline low and no-one wants to give me anything. Iodine has helped me some, but still every afternoon I am tired! Heck, I live on green smoothies and have gone as far as eating very healthy.......still tired. My dog, on the other hand is a new person (LOL) after being on T-4. I am concerned about her health long term, but I am tired of being tired! I also figured I am better off not being on medication from what I have learned. In fact is sounds like armour would be better than T-4. I tried desicated thyroid and my eyelids slit. It was lovely. Okay, well thought I would ramble on a bit, as I am always trying to figure this out. If anything would you share again what is SSKI and why it is so popular. Oh and it could just all be the icky metal in my mouth that I am so hoping to get out this year. Hmmmmm.

Thanks, Kym (mom to 7)
