I am 48 years old and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a little over a year ago. I currently take .75 mcg Levothyroxine per day. Some of the symptoms I had before taking this medication have gone away; however I am still very fatigued, joints ache, weight gain, and I'm having a hard time staying asleep at night. I friend, who has the same condition, is currently taking Armour. She says she has had wonderful results with it. My questions is should I ask my doctor to switch me to Armour and are the benefits better with Armour?
