So? My sister has taken that for 50 years and is healthy as a horse. You are grasping at straws here.

IIRC, she is on blood thinners for life.

Here are my 2008 comments on Hillary’s thyroid rollercoaster
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2002331/posts

And I posted on her thyroid “issues” as early as 2005 and maybe earlier. In the past she has ping ponged back and forth between high thyroid and low thyroid. Her bug eyed look was a a classic giveaway of high thyroid as in hyperthyroid. She had big problems taking the right level of thyroid meds. In her hyperthyroid states she was most likely taking too much synthetic thyroid meds to get out of her low thyroid (hypothyroid) hole. Hole as in mental depression.

This is very personal for me. I have hypothyroidism. When first diagnosed I was put on Synthroid, the synthetic T4 only medication. As bad as I felt before being diagnosed, I felt as bad on Synthroid.

After two years of misery I begged my endocrinologist to put me on Armour Thyroid (natural dessicated thyroid). I’ve been on that ever since and feel much better.

There are some of us who just cannot take T4 only medication.

So what?

Sheeeesh, stick with the issues that can help rebuild America like how to defeat Trump.

My wife takes synthroid, as does my daughter. My wife is, as Louis L'Amour would say, "Is one to walk the river with", and my daughter is a nurse on the path to PA while raising 3 kids on her own.

Hillary stinks as a human being and even worse as a presidential candidate, but this post makes as much sense as most of the ones where someone here uses stupidity to trash either Trump or Cruz.

Dining at the Y all these years have taken a toll on poor desiccated Hillary. It’s too late for Hill and Bill now, their unusual lifestyle has spelled doom.

Chelsea isn’t sad, knowing that her two parents are literally stumbling into their graves. She’ll be even more wealthy than she is now by far.

Now Mezvinsky knows why he married this homely female.

This will go NOWHERE!

There are millions of women that need this medicine and don’t even realize it unless their Free T3 and Free T4 hormones are tested.

Hillary apparently has good doctors.

She terrifies me, but not because she takes thyroid meds. I’d be more concerned if she needed them but didn’t take them. I’m in remission from Graves’ disease. Before it was diagnosed and I got on antithyroid meds I was on the edge of a breakdown.

I despise hillary but this is stupid. I had my thyroid removed a decade ago, have been on meds ever since and run half marathons.

Bad angle of attack. Tons of women take synthroid after they have kids.

By her speeches she sounds like she’s on many meds.

She also takes large quantities of C2-H6-O.

I wonder if that Natural Desiccated Thyroid is harvested at Planned Parenthood.

There is a major problem for Hillary in taking desiccated pig or cow thyroid. She is also taking coumadin (warfarin) against her preponderance for developing blood clots.

Coumadin is a very potent anticoagulant, and in past was used as rat poison. A typical dose for a human means that the patient must be monitored frequently.

There is no contraindication between coumadin and Levothyroxin (or brand name Synthroid). But there *is* a contraindication with Armour thyroid.

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, and have been on Synthroid/Levothyroxine since the mid 80's with no problems or medication side effects. When I was first diagnosed, I had to take two pills because they didn't make a pill in the dosage I needed to take. A few years later, my numbers had gone down, and my dosage was changed to one pill (.125 mg). Last fall, after having my gall bladder removed, my dosage went down again. I'm now taking .112 mg.

I've got other health issues, but one thing that came to light a few years ago is that I have a hyper-parathyroid, which has caused my calcium levels to go up. I had to stop taking the Calcium with Vitamin D supplements my gynecologist told me to take. I now take Vitamin D once a week.
