and not natural like Armour. It does not have the effects of the natural thyroid replacement, even though it supposedly has T3 in it. I just question the equivolency of any synthetically produced replacement medication, as I have been there and feel it does not work. BUT JMO.

If it's synthetic fibers it won't shrink. Sorry. nm

Fran is right..Tends to run in families. If you are, dont bother with Synthroid..I went to Armour
thyroid and never looked back. I tried Synthroid for over a year and they could never get my thyroid back in..I struggled with cold intolerance, fatigue, dry skin, and the worse..weight gain..like 30 pounds and then a doctor put me on a more "natural" thyroid which was Armour. I got my energy back, lost weight etc..I would never use Synthroid or any other synthetic again. Be aware that a huge number of doctors dont like prescribing Armour but I insist that it's the only thing that works for me and they do prescribe it..Good luck to you..
