Re: (Frannie) aising meds when it is cold-Iron ?

Frannie, check out the Conversion chart in the FILES section of this

site. That should help. Also note that folks usually need more than

the conversion chart states.

be near 1 grain of Armour?

You are worse because you are on far too low a dose. No matter how

low your dose is, the pituitary gland knows that your body is

getting thyroid hormones. Thus, it sends a message to your thyroid

via the TSH to shut down further it's already low production of

hormones. You become even more hypo than before!!!!! Your doc is

AWFUL. He REEKS.

A light bulb went off, did my God send me what I need? Pondering and

Praying. This thing is coming to a head. I will soon take a major

action. I feel it coming.
