Hi Shana,

I've got these symptoms too, when I switched to Armour. My thyroid

started to ache, it lasted for probably 2 months. At the time, I was

really concerned, put several posts with questions on different

fora. But I didn't listen to people's advices to go and see a

doctor. I figured: what can the doctor do about it? Unless it gets

more serious, might have the thyroid removed, I have had so much RAI

already......

It is only through your post and 's respond that I realize and

remember I had the same thing! And obviously, as soon as the ache

went away, I forgot how concerned I was about it too.

well, thanks to cindi's response i decided not to call my doctor. he

is only too willing to take my armour away, and i really want to

give it a fair shot. thanks for your reenforcements, it really

helps. my only concern is when do i get concerned?

thanks

As long as it's a temporary thing...not all day long...don't worry...i think

it will fade away on its own.

Hi Shana,

For myself I decided that I would get concerned, go and see a doctor

if I would start having difficulties swallowing food. Ofcourse the

best thing for YOU, is probably to go and see a doctor anyway. What

happened to me and might be different than the cause of your

thyroid ache.

What is the cause of your hypo?

BTW, when I'm reading 's answer again, I realise that I have a

red face too, also red skin on my hands and feet. It's not all the

time. And it is less now than in the beginning. It looks like sun-

tanning, but its not, since the summer in Holland is very very GREY,

Gggrrrr, for weeks now. (It influences my mood too, no sunshine, me

not happy, uh uh). But we had a few sunny days a month ago and I tan

very easy. Actually, for my red/brown skin I thought it might be an

adrenal sign. But at the moment its not very strong. Its probably a

temporary thing too.

Anyway, just thought I should mention this.

Hope your thyroid-ache vanishes soon .....

Margreet.
