Navigating the different medication options for thyroid disease, like Hashimoto's, can be overwhelming, especially when you're not feeling well, and people don't always receive all the information that's out there. That's why this week, I'm clarifying the difference between synthetic and desiccated thyroids and the medications available. I cover:
Levothyroxine, also known as Synthroid, and the benefits of synthetic hormones. 
Liothyronine, also known as Cytomel, how it works, when it helps the most, and potential risks.
Desiccated Thyroid Hormones, or desiccated pig thyroid, how they work, and the potential benefits and problems. 
Remember, there is some trial and error to the process, so be sure to continue to test your levels and don't accept the first option you're given if it's not working for you.
