Warning for women who take Synthroid (Levothyroxine)
Calcium levels in your bloodwork tell you absolutely nothing about your bones. Nothing. Zero. If your heart and other things require more calcium, it will be taken from your bones. A good level in your blood can actually mean your bones are suffering.
The only way to know is to get a bone scan. The ASMBS suggests one every two years, and it's covered by insurance, and takes about three minutes.

I was on armour thyroid for 12 years, and then switched to naturthroid about 3 years ago ( same thing as armour but no gluten, etc). I have had good results. My PCP always try to go with non synthetic meds as much as possible.
