Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 >>What I am struggling with is whether the full replacement dose is reached when enough Armour is taken to shut down the thyroid's output.>> NOPE! Usually your own output was low or you wouldn't be taking Armoru in the first place, so just getting to that point is just where you were to start with, not optimal. -- Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations The BEST thyroid website! http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 What do you have to do to get to your optimal dose without flipflopping back and forth from hypo to hyper. I raise a 1/8 a grain and I am hper and I take it away and I cannot get out of bed. I amnow trying to rais 1/16 o a grain. My body does not tolerate hardly any raises but it needs the raises. Why is this so difficult to do. Has anyway thought to ad or try another type of thyroid medicine. I have been at this for months with help from this group along with stop thyroid and just can't seem to get better. I just started the 1/16 today but I an still hypo. I am almost to 3 grains but just cannot get up there. I am so miserable. Does anyone have any other ideas.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 How much HC are you on? Have you tried increasing that dose the first three days of a thyroid increase? That might be what you need to do. -- Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations The BEST thyroid website! http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 >>What kind of T4 meds would I take if I do need more T4. There are a lotof ohter factors that make me hyper than just my temps. I shake more than when I have adrenal problems and I also hav bowel problems. My respirations and pulse are way out of wak. Howe do dyou know if yo neeed morE T4 and do you still take the armour.<< The only way to add in T4 is with synthetic hormones. You can only tell if you need more of EITHER T4 or T3 by labs. If your labs show T4 below the top third of the range and your T3 is at or above the top third of it's range, THEN oyu might consider adding in T4 to the dos of Armoru you are taking. If you are having hyper symptoms adding in T4 will not help it will get worse. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your symptoms? How are your temps looking?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Well then I must be vary hyper as my pulse is 109 most the time. I do not think that totally correlates with hyper. Maybe you should have your Thyroid levels checked, or have you recently? -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
