Feeling Better in Houston

[Guest guest]

Thanks to all of you for the great information you offer.

When my doctor, because of low TSH, lower my dosage of Armour he wanted to put

me on 60 mg (I was on 90). I told him I still had quite a bit of a precription

and I would take 3/4 of my 90 and he said that was okay. After reading that the

T3 would be used up by the end of the day and that some of you take part of your

Armour at night to help sleep, I decided to take the 75 mg in the morning and I

take the last 25% (along with melatonin) just before bed by putting it between

my gum and cheek and I have had better sleep since I started this then I can

remember in a long time. My night sweats are less and I wake up with more

energy.

When I go see the endo later in May I will let her know this also so it can be

figured into the equation.

You guys are great!!!!!

I actually take almost half of my Armour after dinner, and it helps me sleep. Do insist on having your dose adjusted by Free T3, Free T4 and symptoms. Armour suppresses the TSH very readily, often before you are adequately medicated. ", Carolyn S (GE Infra, Energy)" wrote: Thanks to all of you for the great information you offer.
