Educate me, please, about the differences between the 2 and why a doctor would prefer to prescribe the desiccated over the synthetic.
I've been on the synthetic for probably about 10 years now, but my mother just told me her doctor has started her on the desiccated to try to give her more energy. She has never taken thyroid supplements before this.
On the synthetic, I have a thyroid panel done once a year. I've been on it so long at the same dosage with good results, my doctor doesn't think we need to do the panel any more frequently.
Hugs,
