Funny you should say that-----For the first couple of months that i took the

Armour, I had a constant taste in my mouth that seemed metallic. It went away,

but returned for a few days, when I changed my dosage. I don't know what that's

about.

taste in mouth

To All:

Since I started taking Armour I have the most awful taste in my mouth all the

time. No matter how I take it; swallow, sublingually, or chew it.

Any thoughts from anyone on this.

I have not lost one pound since starting Armour, but I think that I need to get

out and walk, also, to help burn it. The taste I'm tasting is metallic, but

it's gone at intervals, for the most part, and it only started when I started

the Armour 7 months ago.

When I read y'alls post about the bad taste in your mouth I thought

about this list of symptoms...see #32. Note that at the bottom of

this list it also says that these symptoms can also be caused by

hypothyroidism. Soooo, I'm wondering if having the hypoT under

control will mean that I won't have as many problems with " the

passage of life " as Suzanne Somers puts it, aka m e n o p a u s e!

NOTES:

Symptom 1 (flashes) Hot flashes are due to the hypothalamic response

to declining ovarian estrogen production. The declining estrogen

state induces hypophysiotropic neurons in the arcuate nucleas of the

hypothalamus to release gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in a

pulsatile fashion, which in turn stimulates release of luteinizing

hormone (LH). Extremely high pulses of LH occur during the period

of declining estrogen production. The LH has vasodilatory effects,

which leads to flushing.

Symptom 7 (loss of libido) For some women the loss is so great that

they actually find sex repulsive, in much the same way as they felt

before puberty. What hormones give, loss of hormones can take away.

Symptom 8 (dry vagina) results in painful intercourse

Symptom 11 (doom thoughts) includes thoughts of death, picturing

one's own death

Symptom 14 (incontinence) reflects a general loss of smooth muscle

tone

Symptom 15 (itchy, crawly skin) feeling of ants crawling under the

skin, not just dry itchy skin

Symptom 16 (aching sore joints) may include such problems as carpal

tunnel syndrome

Symptom 22 (depression) different from other depression, the

inability to cope is overwhelming. There is a feeling of loss of

self. Hormone therapy ameliorates the depression dramatically.

Symptom 25 (weight gain) often around the waist and thighs,

resulting in 'the disappearing waistline

Symptom 29 (shock sensation) " the feeling of a rubber band snapping

in the layer of tissue between skin and muscle. It is a precursor to

a hot flash "

Symptom 30 (tingling in extremities) can also be a symptom of B-12

deficiency, diabetes, alterations in the flexibility of blood

vessels, or a depletion of potassium or calcium

Some of the 34 signs may also be symptoms of one of the following:

* hypothyroidism

* diabetes

* depression with another etiology

* Multiple Sclerosis

* other medical conditions
