Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 janie, thanks so much for your response. i read your note about increasing dosage and then read your email. i'm concerned about increasing my dosage too soon. i've already taken more then the doc suggested. she wanted me to increase my dosage to a full cap from a half cap three times a week. i've started to do it every day and feel better on the days that i do it. i'm also worried about becoming even more of an insomniac than i already am. do you think i should increase my dosage even more than i already am? i'm seeing an endo - one recommended by mary shomon's site. her name is eva cwynar in beverly hills, ca. anyway, please let me know what you think. thank you! xx peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi there Peg. Unfortunately, it's really hard for me to tell you what to do since I am not in your shoes, but I can give you information to help you decide. For example, MANY docs underdose their patients on Armour, or leave them on a low dose too long, or simply don't understand Armour. I continually see folks here who don't realize that they are simply on too LOW a dose!!! They are also heavily influenced by our lab-obsessed medical society! When you say cap---do you mean you have gone from 1/2 grain to one grain?? And I don't understand taking a thyroid med three times a week!!! WHY did your doc tell you this??? We need it daily, and multi-dosing usually. Do you have other issues that can help us understand your situation?? And it's NO WONDER that you feel better taking it daily!! And yes, your insomnia may improve, not get worse, once you find your optimal dose of Armour.
