Re: Questions regarding Armour Thyroid

[Guest guest]

Hi, Just to throw my two cents in here....there are other things

that can cause the weight gain and breast tenderness...possibly

estrogen dominance? Maybe your body is in need of progesterone?

HTH,

It is odd that the breast tenderness would start after taking the Armour though.

I only experience breast tenderness a few days before my period; this began

happening two weeks before my period.

I am estrogen dominant and is why I started applying natural Progesterone

a couple days ago, but I wouldn't want the Armour to be making it possible

for my estrogen to increase even more. I have been trying to do some research

on the internet to better understand this but I haven't been getting a clear

enough

picture.

The only soy I consume is a plain organic soy yogurt, so I am eliminating

it from my diet just incase and about a week and a half ago I had a lot of

soy nut over a short period of time, but I can't image how it could have such a

dramatic affect on my body.

The only thing I have been taking regularly is the Armour and vitamins including

glandulars to help my adrenals.

Hi,

Just my two bits,

?How long have you been on Armour?

If its only been a couple of days or weeks things will be changing

in your body as it begins to heal from the lack of Thyroid hormones.

Give your body time to adjust, it may be that something is healing

and the 'relief' of the healing is being exhibited as tenderness.

I don't know what your doseage is of Armour, nor what your diagnosis

is, so, it is possible that this is your bodies way of telling you

that you might need more or less of the Armour...

Wait it out and see.

I treat based upon how I feel and basal temps. Listen to your body

and go slowly...

two weeks before your period you would've been ovulating. I used to

experience most of my soreness then, and not actually when my period

started. After being on the progesterone cream about 6 months, I no longer

have even that.

I started Armour a year ago....my periods seemed to regulate and

with that came PMS including breast tenderness....it was much

reduced this last month while on prog cream. What brands do all of

you use of the cream?
