Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Hi EveryOne, Yesterday I took 1/2 grain of Armour and much to my disappointment nothing happened. I had been taking Nutri-meds (two a day) so I took the 130mg. nutri-meds in the afternoon and felt as usual. This morning, I took one grain of Armour for the first time in my life. About four hours later I felt as if a cloud was lifting and everything in my life was changed for the better. I felt it - as it was happening.........you never know how bad it was until it is gone!!! I can breathe! I didn't even know I was having a problem with my breathing until it opened up more and I felt so much better. I kept reading about breathing problems but didn't think that applied to me. I have energy! I knew I was fatigued, every time I would get the energy to do something it would take me days to recover and most days the only time I had energy to do anything was right in the middle of the day. My whole life has been very restricted because of a lack of get up and go. I've been dragging myself around for years on shear will power and determination. Aches and pains diminished or dissolved. I could feel them going........ I am warm!!! Even before I ate anything I felt heat in my body including my fingers and toes. I can feel my heart reacting, beating somewhat harder, but my pulse is still slow and my temperature is still below 98F. I don't seem to want to take another thyroid med this afternoon, I feel kind of " charged " so I am going to wait until tomorrow am and take it from there. I may need to make dosage adjustments up or down as I go along but I can tell already that this is a MAJOR CHANGE in my life for the better! Emotionally I felt both great joy and great anger - both at the same time:-)) It was funny if you had been watching it but it felt very serious to me. I can't tell you when I have felt that amount of anger, not in years, didn't have the energy to spare to get that angry! I am angry for all the years that I, and the millions of others like me, sufferred unnecessarily, not knowing why I felt so lousy and not knowing what to do about it - nor if anything could be done. Not knowing what was wrong with me. Lately feeling like it was a matter of life and death to find out what was going on with or without a MD's help. I did get myself to a doctor (without insurance the MD and labs cost me $450.00) and talked him into doing a blood test, he only did TSH but it told me what I already strongly suspected from my low morning temps, coldness, fatigue etc: TSH 3.4 Hypothyroid. He said it was normal......... I ordered Armour from I-A online In the past month or so since the bloodtest and doctor visit, when I realized he would not help me and that I would have to find my own answers, I have spent many hours each day reading everything I could find about hypothyroid, adrenals, progesterone, thyroid meds etc. etc. etc. I found the websites and the mailing lists. Finally the clouds and fog are clearing..the sun is beginning to shine. Spring! If you are not feeling well, -really well-, then don't settle for less, keep going until you find your answer. It may not be the same as mine, but I know there is a way for all of us to feel good again. I also know that the way is not going to be handed to us but that we, low energy as we are, are going to have to find it ourselves with help from each other. Perhaps having found it we can join those who already are helping others to find their own way. When there are enough of us the whole world will know what needs to be known about the thyroid and how to treat it. God Bless You All! Be Healthy and Be Happy.
