I have hypothyroid problem last 6 month's i medication daily empty stomach know my thyroid level is normal but still having.?
Perhaps you need to switch to Armour Thyroid which is real thyroid and helps with low T3 and T4. The lab tests are faulty. They don't always us the best tests at the labs and many don't test the T4 level. Ask your doctor to switch you to Armour Thyroid. The cost is about the same and you won't be taking a synthetic form of thyroid. The synthetic form does not work well. He could start you out on 2 grains of the armour thyroid. If he does not like the idea then go to a hormone specialist and get better treatment.

Can you use armor thyroid for weight loss?
No. Armour Thyroid should never be used for weight loss and will not cause weight loss in people with NORMAL Thyroid Function. For people who are HypOthyroid (underactive Thyroid) Armour Thyroid can help them lose weight the way people with normal thyroid lose weight - but only if they are following a diet/exercise regimen. It will not CAUSE weightloss. It will however make it possible for those with Hypothyroid to lose weight - which many could not without Armour.
What is armor thyroid?
Armour thyroid is an extract from the thyroid gland of beef cattle, slaughtered in the Armour meat processing plants. As a result, its active ingredients are not only variable but subject to medical conjecture. In humans, the active thyroid hormones are designated T3 and T4, and these have been available in synthetic form for over 30 years. Nonetheless, a percentage of humans with hypothyroidism remain clinically refractory to treatment with synthetic thyroid hormone, and yet appear to fare much better on armour thyroid, thus raising at least a conjecture that an as yet unidentified molecule in beef thyroid bestows a benefit on this group of patients. All are readily available in pharmacies throughout the US, so discussion with one's physician may be warranted if the symptoms of hypothyroidism persist despite adequate replacement with synthetic thyroid hormone (thyroxine, sold under the brand names Synthroid or Levoxyl).
