Alternative Treatment For Menopause Symptoms

Anyone know of alternative (to thyroxine) solutions to hypothyroidism?

My TSH levels are high but I am thinking the solution is more complex than just treating that and think maybe the thyroid is overworked due to the effects of hormonal changes at menopause and resultant rises in cholestrol levels. Unfortunately (and linked from my readings) heart disease has followed. Have been on vitamin C and lysine/proline treatment for about 7 months but I still experience symptoms (mainly attached to any stressful event) such as difficulty walking for any distance. Has anyone had, or heard of, someone with similar experiences and hopefully treatments that have helped. I want to avoid bypass surgery as this alone is not a solution either.

Increased cholesterol levels are a symptom of hypothyroidism. If you treat with thyroid hormone, most likely the cholesterol levels will come down. If you don't like the idea of treating with T4, then there's a natural solution.....Armour thyroid. It contains both T4 and T3 and most people feel better on it. (myself included)

I don't like the idea of medication, but Armour is natural and it rids me of most of my symptoms. It is adjusted by free t4 and free t3, not by TSH. Some links below
