: : : I'm a guy and noticed that since I started taking thyroid medication (first synthroid for a month, then armour) that my sex drive is much lower. Or is this a symptom of hypothyroidism?

: : Hi BB, It's generally concidered a symptom of hypothyroidism. How long have you been on Armour? If it hasn't been very long, give it sometime to work. It takes a while to heal everything that having a low functioning thyroid has done to your body. The longer that you were hypothyroid before starting thyroid hormone the longer it takes for all the damage to heal.
: : Are some of any of your other symptoms starting to dissipate yet?

: Well, I don't know about my measured levels, but I feel more like myself and can see my place in the world a little better.

Sounds like the healing process has gotten a good start, BB. I'm sure that in a short time all of your problems will be a thing of the past, like most people with this disorder! Any illness or disorder will upset your libedo until your body has time to heal. Best of Luck, Tina
