Edumon,

I got a magnifying glass and looke at my Armour. I have 60mg tabs. They have the A with a mortar and pedestal in the center and .....good news..... a TE below that. Sorry if I alarmed you. Your's may have the TJ b/c they are a different strength. Also, I encourage you to try taking them sublingually. As I said, my bottle stinks, but the tabs don't taste bad at all.

Blessings,

Debbie K.

I've got my armour but am wondering if I got the right stuff? 90 mg little white pills with an "A" stamped on them, then a tiny "tj" under it?

I believe that the TJ indicates the dosage size? Sounds like Armour to me, and it is sublingual. The pharmacist just doesn't look at it that way because it doesn't dissolve like a nitro. That's the only explanation for his/her saying that, that I can think of.

"So your levels are normal and your thyroid is still enlarged? What did they tell you to do? Just live with it? Have you seen an Endo yet?

hang in there Jodi!"

I'm not Jodi, but am in the same boat..."normal" tests, enlarged thyroid. My endo has referred me to a surgeon...

Seems like a lot for a start dose to me..... I think I'd split it and do it in two doses... so that the T3 isn't so much all in one hit.....

Some folks do good with large hits.... some don't.

You'll have to try it out on yourself and see how your body responds. If it's too much for you.. try to keep in mind that the T3 will be wearing off in about 4 hours... so you wont' be bouncing off the walls ALL day!

well I went to the armour site and squinted at the "insert" document until I saw a description of the pills...sounds right. I thought maybe I'd start by swallowing at night for a few days, then work up to sublingual in the two week period before I'm supposed to double the dose. is 90 mg an awful lot? I mean, he doesn't have any test results to base the dosing on, he's just kind of throwing it at me to see what happens...
