Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 My free t4 had been a bit on the low side compared to my free t3 about 5 months ago, but I felt OK and had increased to that level so since the free t3 was above the line, I left all alone and allowed my body to go through a healing phase for a few months. My hair was starting to break again and my skin not good. I have added some testosterone since then. That added a bit of feeling better. I added some synthroid about 12,5 or 1/4 of a .05 mg. That helped a bit. I decided that I would rather add some Armour since at 100 pounds over weight, 2 grains is a pretty low dose. Also my energy was going down. I added 15 mg. That was not enough, so as of today, I added 30 mg. I will watch carefully for the next two days. I think it is time to increase from breaking nails, skin breaking out, fatigue with dead naps and slip in moods. It is slight in the moods, but that for me is a big indicator. I need to be able to work like I have been, so slipping backward is not an option. Cross your fingers! Re: Re: Help! One Grain ARMOUR at MyRxForLess You're a smart gal, Jamy, even if you do tease me about my beautiful braided leg hairs *giggles*.... use your common sense, observe your symptoms and monitor your basals. But try not to add any more... see what your system will do with what it has.... What might have changed that has caused your body to need more? Or do you think that maybe in the five months you've held your dose that your body has just caught up and now needs more for the next stage?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 2x. I had been doing 5, but felt no difference. Tried it for 3 months. I do need the noon one since I get up at 5. Funny though, I did not take my thyroid meds when I had my blood test since noon the day before and I had the test at 7 a the next day. It showed my free t3 over the top, yet I felt tired.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 For myself, I dream (that I remember anyway) maybe once or twice a yr. And, when I do dream, it's always about gorillas sitting upstairs on a gigantic deck off my bedroom, hehe, and crazy things like that!! The dreams are always weird, but they always involve a strange house somewhere, that I've never seen before. What in the world is THAT?!! I just hardly ever dream to my memory banks. Re: upping dose How are you sleeping... do you go deep enough to dream? Topper () On Sun, 27 Jun 2004 07:52:03 -0700 "JAMY" writes: 2x. I had been doing 5, but felt no difference.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 My dreams are crazy too, about strange houses and stuff like that. I once dreamed I was in a library, not a public library but a home library, one of those old houses used to have, with the leather-bound books. I was standing there and suddenly all my teeth starting falling out. I was choking on them and I tried to spit them out but I couldn't. I've also dreamed about being in a giant field of yellow flowers (not sunflowers, those that look like daisies but are all yellow) and there was a big red vynil chair in front of me. Nothing else, just flowers and the chair. LOL Jan wrote: > For myself, I dream (that I remember anyway) maybe once or twice a > yr.
