Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I can't answer your question, but maybe Val can. See, this seems to be the problem with getting a doctor involved, you need almost constant communication, perhaps weekly visits. I think this forum may suit others better if your doctor doesn't have email or won't talk to you on the phone regularly. It just seems like we need constant guidance with this condition. macedgeca wrote: I just saw a doctor a few days ago, he's alternative and prescribes both cortef and armour. I talked to him about how I was taking it (as outlined here) and that I wasn't feeling any better yet. He had some suggestions on tweeking it a little, but I forgot to ask him how to make the changes, in what steps. Val, I'd appreciate your input since I won't be able to see him again for a while. He gave some suggestions and said I should experiment, but I really want to make the changes slowly. Since I was almost out of cortef, I started making thyroid changes first. He said instead of taking my second dose of armour 5 hours later thatn the first, he suggested I try it 12 hours later than the first dose. I wasn't sure wether to make a jump to 12 hours, so the last two days I've taken it 9 hours later. Should I go ahead now and jump to 12 hours later, or stay on 9 hours for a few more days?

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi , I forgot to ask him 'how' to make the changes, like what to do first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Thanks Val, have you or anyone here tried taking the second armour dose 12 hours later? I think it will be harder to do because I'll be more likely to forget to take it at 7:30pm than at 12:30pm, the later in the day the more tired and forgetful I get. I have trouble sleeping at night, my concern is that taking thyroid that late in the day might make it harder to sleep, do you think that could be the case? Does taking thyroid give you energy around the time of taking it? I haven't noticed so far. Elyse > I think you would be fine to go to 12 hours now.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I take my Armour four times a day, the last at bedtime and it helps me sleep. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 , How do you split it up, how many hours apart? If twice a day doesn't help me, then I'll try more times a day as well. I have a lot of trouble sleeping, hopefully this will help. Elyse > > I take my Armour four times a day, the last at bedtime and it helps me > sleep.

I used to take it at bedtime (before I found STTM and these groups) and for years had wicked insomnia. Once I stopped taking it at night, added iodine and progesterone I started sleeping great. Have continued to sleep great. This is going on 2 months now. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
