Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Today is my one week aniversary on armour! I may be imagining it, but I have not felt this good since before my thyroid was yanked. I blew my boss away yesterday with all the things and ideas that were busting out of my mouth. I do have a question. How do you take your armour or other natural thyroid? I've read that it's best to split the dose, once in the morning and again in the afternoon. So far, I'm taking the dose in the a.m. and seem to be doing ok. For several years I've blamed my fatigue and other issues on this monster I have called multiple sclerosis, but I'm beginning to think that it's been a combo of thryoid and the MS. Since both are autoimmune (I cant spell this morning), who knows what's what. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wasn't even on my optimal dose yet, which I had to figure out over the next few months. Like Carol said, you can figure out what works best for you with the dosing/dividing. It is simply an attempt to more closely replicate what your own thyroid would be doing i.e. it giving you the direct T3 throughout the day, as needed. I take my second dose in the early AM--got the idea from a Top Doc who said he does it so that the rise in T3 would occur at his lowest point, around 4 pm. But some take it all at once, too, and find it works. See what you think. I would, though, recommend you do the Armour sublingually instead of swallowing it. Since it is going directly to your blood stream that way, nearly 100% of it is used, whereas digesting it causes some of it to be affected by contents in your stomach and then the processing of the liver. (But again, digesting it works, but sublingually is apparently more optimal.) Janie ) p.s. Would you keep us informed as you are on Armour longer, and find your optimal dose, as to what you notice it may be doing for your MS symptoms??
