LOL...well actually...that's sorta like it can be! I felt like a new

person...and kept thinking to myself " I haven't felt like this since my early

30s! " ....and I'm 48 now! It's rather bizarre at times...like traveling back in

time...only I now have to figure out what parts have naturally aged and

therefore

are okay to hurt every once in a while.

I felt a difference within the first week of starting on 1/2 grain of Armour.

Hello NaturalThyroidHormones,

I think i'm expecting something amazing -like Popeye's reaction to

spinach.

How long does it take to make a difference?

I am on a low dose as my adrenals are very weak [ ½ grain Armour

plus 25 mcg thyroxine ]

I think you're going to feel better . Now, no beating up on Bluto!

But maybe in a few days.

Good for you, Alison!! Welcome to the world of Armour. Some folks

get the Popeye reaction fairly quick--a few days. Others may take a

week or more. It's individual. I'm glad to read you are starting

low. Just make sure you don't stay on the low dose too long or your

hypo will return with a vengeance. And hopefully you have a good

adrenal support if you know your adrenals are weak---I can't

remember.

I will be seeing the dr in just over 2 weeks, so i won't be on this

low dose for long, unless my adrenals can't handle it. They have

crashed previously -but if that happens this time I've been told to cut the

thyroxine out and keep on the Armour so we shall see how it goes.

I have had a cold for the last few days and i know my adrenals have

been suffering from that -so they could crash

I've been on adrenal support for about 2 and a half months -a

glandular [DSF Formula from nutri-meds ] and it is definitely helping

clear the betacarotene from my skin - i am still yellow but a lighter

shade rather than the tanned look i had before.

Hi Alison !

This is interesting ! Adrenal support " un-tans " one ?????? Did Dr.

Chapman say that ?? This is the first time I hear that adrenal

support ( or adrenals ) has anything to do with the colour of your

skin ! I only know about the brown spots , but that's apparently not

what you are talking about .

..... because I had a strange experience : while taking a med , an

antibiotic actually , I turned a very nice sun tan colour . I also

felt pretty bad at that time and after . ----- Could maybe the med

have affected my adrenals ????

Except that I don't see what problem you have with a nice sun

tan ?! ;-)

It seems that beta carotene can be concentrated in the skin when the adrenals

and

thyroid are

bad due to being unable

to convert beta carotene to vitamin A.

I am normally 'milk white' but i have over the past couple of

years developed a yellow cast to my skin which i hadn't noticed

develop and i suppose I'd have put it down to living in the South of

France except last year i did not spend any time in the sun [i was too

cold!!] and its all over my body - not just the bits that are

routinely exposed to the sun . It isn't

jaundice Its apparently due to low adrenal and

thyroid function .

Also there is also hyperpigmentation of the skin due to increased melanin when

the

adrenals are failing - i have that too - and that tends to be in areas

exposed to light and/or where the skin rubs . My face is definitely

clearer looking though not completely -it was very weirdly tanned at Xmas

Either that or maybe it blocked the beta carotene to vit A pathway

temporarily?

Vitamins A, D, & E are not water soluable - so they build up in your system -

especially if your body doesn't use them...

Maybe that's what's wrong with my skin, other than the folic acid anemia. I

always had very white rosy skin until around two yrs ago. I don't sunbathe or

spend hardly any time in the sun, yet, in this short time, my sking has become

this yellowish muddy color that I can't seem to get rid of. Then, for around a

week or so, it looks normal and rosy again. No explanation for this. I have

that yellowish red look to the palms of my hands, and I had read way back there

that this could be a sign of liver upset, yet, my liver function tests and

bilirubin always come back in a very normal range, along with the other liver

enzymes.

[Guest guest]

It's the way your liver might process certain drugs, I think. I just asked

about this same type of thing. I think there's something called " sick serum

syndrome " from drugs that you are very senstive to. Out-and-out 's would

darken the skin generally. But probably so would the places between normal and

that.
