Yes for the most part you have it right. I was on 1 grain for two

weeks. Doc said he was only increasing it to 1 1/4 grain but his

nurse told me 1 3/4 grain. But I was only taking 1 1/2 grains...and

now he called and said that he didn't increase it that much (Nurse's

fault) and I should be taking only 1 1/4 grains. I agreed to do this

to maintain the relationship as no one else in the area will

prescribe Armour. I go back Feb 4 for blood tests etc...and I feel

like then I can get him to go up again. Yes, I was on 1 1/2 grains

for two weeks and had started feeling a bit better.....I was just

very discouraged when he called but am really okay with it now...I

know this is a slow process and he is prescribing slowly....I could

just pop him in the head ya know?

Thanks,

Kat
