Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Hi everyone My Armour arrived yesterday. It had being lying quietly at a pharmacist. Anyway the good news is that they delivered it! I babbled at the delivery man that I had been waiting 7 years for the Armour! He must have thought I was nuts. (I did not French Kiss him Janie). So today I took 1/2 grain sublingually and reduced my thyroxine from 100mcg to 75mcg. Early days, time will tell.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Hi, Caroline, I hope you don't mind my " butting in " here but I've been kind of lurking around and haven't said much. Congrats on your Armour delivery! That's great news. I was just curious -- it sounds like you are going to gradually reduce the levothyroxine while you increase the Armour? Is that the plan? The only reason I ask is that I tried that once without much success. Of course everyone is different but I did much better when I cut out the synthetics entirely and took Armour only. I'm happy for you. I was on the synthetics for almost ten years. I've been on the Armour for hmmmm I guess about 2 weeks now? And already feel improvement Take care. And the best of luck!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 I'm glad you're working with a doctor on it -- that's good. I wish you the best of luck.
