Guest guest Report post Posted June 22, 2007 I had brown spots all over my body when I was heavily detoxing with mercury chelators, etc. I think I kicked too much up in my system at once. They have lessened as of late but not all gone. I too have seen others with them on their arms and body and I think it is from toxins unable to get out of the body.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 22, 2008 Hi Glynis, In fighting one infection your body tries to hide the iron away from the invading pathogens. Possibly, your immunity isn't working at full stretch and the skin (+hair follicles) is not being adequately protected. Iron is an essential component of the pathogen's metabolism. It might point to a zinc deficiency. best wishes Bob > > Hi everybody, > I have been on Armour for nearly 3 months now and I am getting spots! > I never had them as a teenager but I have spots on my face and in my > hairline at the back of my neck.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 23, 2008 Hi Glynis, Chances are that it is the chest infection that has you run down- have you had antibiotics for it? Remember you could be reacting to anthing in your environment. Subject: Spots Hi everybody, I have been on Armour for nearly 3 months now and I am getting spots! I never had them as a teenager but I have spots on my face and in my hairline at the back of my neck. Anyone else had this problem? I have had a chest infection the last few weeks, so it could be that I am just run down, (or run over with the amount of work on my plate!!). Now I've left the pen museum I'm much less stressed and really feel that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can actually walk round the gardens where I volunteer and apart from getting a little out of breath (due to the chest infection) I can do it without screaming for painkillers when I sit down again!

Guest guest Report post Posted April 23, 2008 Hi Ann, sorry if this sounds odd but I'm glad its not just me!! I have a couple of small but really rough patches of skin too, no matter how much body lotion or cream I put on them they're not getting any better. I will wait another week then get another appointment with the GP.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 23, 2008 Hi Glynis, Armour will 'prompt' more hormones typical of adolescence, can't predict how long for, but there may be a silver lining to this rejuvenation. best wishes Bob > > Hi Ann, sorry if this sounds odd but I'm glad its not just me!!

Guest guest Report post Posted April 23, 2008 Maybe the body is trying to get rid of the accumulations under the skin from hypothyroid. Usually the liver is the first organ to deal with this, but if the liver's under strain the detox will be through the skin instead. I'd suggest helping the liver with milk thistle and drinking lots of water. (I actually found that the spots cleared up almost immediately with Armour.)

Guest guest Report post Posted April 24, 2008 One of the things I still suffer, even though I am well, is rough dry skin, especially on my arms and lower legs. Sometimes, I get small weird looking reddish scaly patches, that can be quite tender that take a long time to heal. I am sure this is to do with hypothyroidism, but I don't know what to do to stop it. I often have to really scrub my skin hard to remove all the dead skin (ugh! sorry folk, more than you really need to know) but it is such a joy to have a few days of lovely smooth looking skin before it dries out again. There has been more moisturiser cream used in my house than the whole of our village. This probably goes along with my hair loss. luv - Sheila Hi Glynis[[...a couple of small but really rough patches of skin too..]]Pellagra ~ means 'rough skin' from low niacin (vit B3)?Bob ..

Guest guest Report post Posted April 24, 2008 MODERATED TO REMOVE MESSAGE ALREADY READ - SHEILA _____________________________________________ Hi New to forum, but maybe have an idea. We know that our skin gets dry and doesn't naturally come away like normal skin when we are hypot. Maybe as your skins natural oils start to be produced again as you get healthier, they are getting stcuk behind the dead, dry skin, forming spots? Have you tried a good exfoliatior? Just an idea...

Guest guest Report post Posted April 24, 2008 Hi Sheila Coconut oil may do as well with a spot or two of HC cream, that may be less sticky. But one wonders if a part of an Armour tab ground up in coconut oil would fix the same problem? Dilute so's to get about the right amount to absorb. Less than a quarter tab to supply about 5- 10 micrograms of T3 of whatever strength is available mixed in about 2-5 gms of coconut oil. That would give something around about 1 microgram T3 per gram of oil +/- depending on your sums. If that were applied once a day to the dry skin areas, I suspect it ought to have a noticeable effect (topically) without causing excess risk of T3 overdose. It's within your own control and expertise. The T4 content would, in any case, be less active. best wishes Bob > > Hi Sheila, > > I've had this in the past (30+ years ago)- and got > prescribed hc cream which was made up by the elderly chemist with a lanolin > base- talk about sticky, but worked like magic. > > > > > > > Subject: Re: Re: Spots > > > > One of the things I still suffer, even though I am well, is rough dry skin, > especially on my arms and lower legs.

I am trying some cream ordered from the Internet called psoricream. not cheap but if it works then it will be worth it.this seams to be linked to the arthritis gene. we have so many genes scientists are only at the beginning to locate which ones are responsible for our problems.angel.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 24, 2008 I had a weeks antibiotics but they don't seem to have made a difference. I'm going to ring for another appointment at the docs later today. I did think it was an allergy at one point and started taking anti histamines but it made no difference so I think it is just that I am run down and need to rest a bit (if only!!) I'm going to try and get an extension on my assignments at uni, to give me a chance to have a weekend off. Then I'm going to stay in bed and catch up on some sleeeeeppp!!!

Guest guest Report post Posted April 24, 2008 Hi to everyone who is getting 'Spots' My T3 is beginning to work better , but have also begun to get big red angry-looking spots on face and smaller blotches around my eyes, under my eyes and forehead - I was assuming it is 'the badness coming out' ie the fluid retention that has accumulated in these places and if your medication is working do we not conclude it could be that.? If those of you who can remember back to when your Armour/Thyroxine/T3 started working are 'Spots' a 'Sign' that something's working it's way out and that to go from Puffy to Perfect, it can't just happen without some reaction. I will add that these angry spots come and go in a day or so and so can't be acne type spots. Hope I'm right and that someone can confirm this for all our sakes. J Sent from . A Smarter Email.
