Kathy,

TY and I am glad I could help.yes I have ALOT of experience both personal (myself,my mother ,three sisters,two sister in-

laws) and professional with thyroid disease.In our family we have different types also.There are types from a DNA marker that make you kill the thyroid ,there are types where your body is exposed to a thyroid toxin,there are types where the cause is unkonown,there are forms where it is secondary to another immune system disorder where the thyroid gets damaged that way(this is the form I seem to have) .

It is usually not the Synthroid or the Armer Thyroid making you feel bad but either like you said another drug interferring in their action,another problem you have that is not being treated ,(which seems to be the case with you and the difficulty breathig) ,or you are just not getting ENOUGH of the medication to be working...

  I will be here if you need further assistance,

Mo
