Hello Mary,
Monthly In-Depth Thyroid News Report
After responding to article on Armour Thyroid I pulled my prescription records and found that I have been on Armour Thyroid for over twenty years. Several factors are involved in my well being. I maintain a
balanced diet. try to get plenty of exercise and follow my doctor's orders. I am also a person who studies about any physical illness I have been confronted with. I believe it is a large factor in coping with any
disease. Last, I am a cockeyed optimist. When I first was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in the 1960's I went directly to the library and studied the effect of thyroid disease on the mind and body. I am the type of person who can cope with any situation when I understand what is really taking place. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 and immediately asked my oncologlist for all the material he could give me in regard to
the disease. He also feels that understanding a disease does allay fears. I am now sixty six years of age and feel well. I encourage all people to have a complete physical every year and to contact their physician if they have an unusual circumstance arise in regard to their health. Medicine is wonderful, but along with it must come common sense, which enables us to live longer, healthier lives.
Best Regards,
Beatrice
