Reply #32: I went into mourning when they banned Zomax [View All]

I don't know if you remember that stuff, but it was an NSAID that actually worked. I was on it for six months and thought I'd died and gone to heaven, I had no pain.

Unfortunately, it had a nasty habit of killing people, mostly doctors, who tried taking it intermittently for things like toothache and hangover. As long as you stayed on it, you were fine. Go off it for a couple of weeks and try to go back on it and you weren't.

It left me with an allergy to all NSAIDs when I went off it.

So yes, I do understand what you're going through. Formulations for thyroid hormones vary widely from company to company, so you're in for another nasty period of getting the stuff titrated properly. However, you will manage to get on an even keel again, one hopes sooner rather than later.

In any case, this might make you feel a bit better about natural versus synthetic hormone: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=17253
