Armour thyroid

[Guest guest]

I wanted to mention again that i am now on ARMOUR THYROID onehalf gram 30 mg.

I dont know if it is working for sure, but i seem to be sleeping somewhat better

and staying awake during the day which is a BIG CHANGE.

*****want to mention something extremely important: I am not making sure that i

TAKE MY THYROID FIRST THING WHEN I GET UP, NO FOOD OR OTHER MEDS. I WAIT AT

LEAST ANOTHER 2 HOURS BEFORE I TAKE MY OTHER MEDS OR EAT ANYTHING AT

ALL!!*************

ALTHOUGH MY PHYSICAL ENERGY ISNT REALLY BACK, i have started WANTING TO CLEAN MY

ROOM. 13 yr old grand daughter came over, and i directed her to take stuff out

of my closet.

As I sat on my bed most of the time, she did as i showed her. I did get up and

cleaned off the top of my armour (big job), used the little vac on my carpet,

and did tons of sorting and organizing while sitting on my bed. Does that count

as improvement?

I REALLY WANT TO CLEAN OFF THE COUNTER IN MY BATHROOM. I keep looking at it

when i go in there, and ugh!, it is awful. i need ideas on how to store all

that stuff and still be able to get to it when i need it. (my " bender " doesnt

work well at all.)

My effexor was also changed about a month so maybe that explains it. I am now

on 150 ER once per day, so not a big jump.

Vitamin D script still at 50,000 once per week.

lisinopril (bp meds) still at 10 mg

neurontin still at 600 mg 3 times a day, but i rarely take it more than twice if

that.

singulair pill is 10 mg and all inhalers still the same for the COPD

zyrtec still 10 mg

nitro still the same

At 64, i am not having " hot flashes " , but have had a terrible time with FEELING

VERYVERY HOT,, BUT **COLD SWEAT** WHEN SKIN TOUCHED.

NONE OF THE DOCS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. ANY IDEAS

APPRECIATED. HAVE ACTUALLLY PASSED OUT WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED..SEVERAL TIMES.

thanks again, kajern

I cannot believe that docs don't read the side effects on meds they

prescribe. I would be willing to bet you that your SSRI med - Effexor is

causing the intense internal heat - hot enough to pass out. I too had this

from SSRI's and it may well be the beginning of Sertonin sickness. See

this site:http://www.drugs.com/sfx/effexor-side-effects.html

" * " Incidence in Controlled Trials*

*Commonly Observed Adverse Events in Controlled Clinical Trials*

The most commonly observed adverse events associated with the use of Effexor

® (incidence of 5% or greater) and not seen at an equivalent incidence among

placebo-treated patients (ie, incidence for Effexor at least twice that for

placebo), derived from the 1% incidence table below, were asthenia,

sweating, nausea, constipation, anorexia, vomiting, somnolence, dry mouth,

dizziness, nervousness, anxiety, tremor, and blurred vision as well as

abnormal ejaculation/orgasm and impotence in men. "

Go to our FILES section of this forum . Open the folder

entitled 'All Natural Thyroid Extract' and there you will see a file entitled

'how to Use Natural Thyroid Extract' and all the information you need should be

in there.

Hi all

I have now started taking my

armour thyroid 1g (need to do this for 2 weeks) (1 week so far) and I just

wanted to check if there was a good time to actually take it?

What should I actually feel

too? I think I feel more energy, but not sure how long it takes to get

full benefits?

Thanks in advance
