This has been bothering me for about a week...and I, of course, figured I had

some NEW disease. Then i figured that maybe it was my adrenal glands. I

really don't know what the heck it is. The back pain is new for me.

Hi ,

as T4 is the storage hormone I would recommend staying on the same dose for at

least 4 weeks otherwise you may go hyper again.

I have the same problem with my temperature - it never seems to get higher than

97.6 and fluctuates a lot from day to day, sometimes as low as 96

Don't know what the amswer is, I have been wondering the same thing myself.

Weird things happening - What should I do?

Hi Everyone,

I have decreased my Armour dosage from 2 grains, down to 1 1/4 with 25

mcg of T4. This made a huge difference and I feel pretty good. I have

been getting some headaches and heart skips again and my lower back

pain is still bothering the heck out of me. My cold hands and feet

have improved some. Feeling warmer lately. Acne is not as bad, but

here's the clitcher: I have an even lower body temp than before and my

Thanks Lynda for the advice. I just can't believe how sensitive I am.

I have had a heck of a time getting stable, it's unreal! I have been

increasing the armour every couple of weeks (or was), and then all

heck broke loose. SInce I backed down and added the T4, I have felt

better than I have in months, although I am tolerating some of my

remnant symptoms (like the awful back pain and aches). It's weird,

because the back pain is mostly in the lower back, just above my

tailbone and on each side (not really the back at all). I wonder if

this is what they call sciatica pain? It sometimes affects the back

hamstring muscle (feels like it is pulled taut). I also have muscles

aches in the lower back, but it is most noticeable when standing for

long periods of time. If I could get that to go away, the acne, and

increase energy just a bit more, I would be whistling Dixie lol .

This is interesting because I only had this hip/back pain every once

in a while before going on meds (every once in a while it would be

really bad too). Since Armour, I have it every single day and it's

driving me NUTS!!! I can almost feel these little jelly balls right

where the pain originates from.

Cindi, my mom (who is stubborn as all get out) wants to try the

Armour. Holy cats eyes, I can't believe she trusts me. She emailed me

today and said she has yet another boil on her bum (she'd kill me for

posting that), and wants to try the Armour. Now, her free T3 was 4.6,

but what the heck does that translate into? I saw one lab have a range

as high as 7.7, which would make my mom's T3 on the low end (certainly

not optimal). I also read on Dr. Mercolo's, I think, that a free T4 of

between 10-14 is on the low end. My mom's was 14. So, I am going to

get her on the generic stuff from myrxforless.com. By the way, when we

were out on Saturday night, she was complaining the whole time about

being cold, and guess what? I was not cold at all. For the first time,

I wasn't all bundled up and I was looking at my mom like she was nutso

lol!!
