Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 -Hi , Thanks so much for replying to my post. I have tried to divide the dose of synthroid but I still seem to react to any dose over 25mcg. I even have to split the 25 into 2 doses. I hope i will be able to tolerate armour. Are you taking all armour now? If so has it worked better for you? thanks for your help:) Car -- In NaturalThyroidHormones , topper2@j... wrote: > Hi, Car.... > > After my RAI and finally getting on meds they started me out on > Synthroid, I was getting sick from it... nauseous, headachy.... then we > tried Levothryoid... then we went back the Synthroid and found that the > only way I could take it without feeling ill was the split the dosage > into three per day. > > It was two years of gradually upping dosages until they got me where the > said my labs were normal and then a while after that I was finally able > to go to a single dose per day.... > > .... perhaps you sensitive system, like mine, needs smaller doses, more > frequently?? > > Topper () *almost 14 years post RAI and now on naturals* > > On Fri, 16 Jan 2004 20:23:15 -0000 " sososleepy " <carlylo@a...> writes: > > Hello Everyone, > > I posted a while back and gave my thyroid test results.
