Natural thryoid med: You can switch to a prescription natural thyroid medication such as armour thryoid or nature-throid. The vast majority of people who try both feel better on natural thyroid. However, some people (those with thyroiditis) may be allergic to some of the components of natural thyroid. Discuss with your doctor.
