Sometimes I can't believe I can hang here, though very much the newbie here, but not in terms of research because I've been doing so much of it for quite a while. I went from brand (and still have some pens) to compound (and still have and am using compound), and now have vials of lyophilized tirz, new and untried until tested, and I find myself simultaneously calmer by my growing stockpile of vials in my freezer, while also constantly debating getting more compound. I have Emerge/Hallandale and Orderly/Red Rock on pause, and am with SDRX/Ouisa too but haven't yet reordered because I still have a stock of compound. With hypothyroidism, metabolic issues, and insulin resistance, I am fairly certain it is a lifetime medication for me, just like my armour thyroid plus Liothyronine is, and I want to be in control of it all.
