Armour - Increase or not

[Guest guest]

Greetings

Had R131 18 months ago. on 100 mg thyroxine and had CFS and Fibro.

Having read the posts on this and thyroid Uk site decided to try

Armour.Pre-prepared myself by supporting my adrenals with 5mg

prednisoleone and supplements. Ceased Thyroxine for 1 week and

replaced with T3 for one week following tye Peatfield guidelines

then Started Armour at the 1/2 grain level and am aware of the need

to increase SLOWLY - However, I am feeling so low about two clix

away from a coma - I just know my body need thyroid hormone but

nervous to increase or supplement with thyroxine - So question can I

increase Armour even after only two days,?? can I supplement???

Bottom line: my body needs thyroid hormone - Can I start Armour at 1

grain or even more ??? thank you for any guidence you could give.

if you were on 100 mg of something els, yes, that amount of Armour 1 grain

is too low. Match what you were taking. Split it to 4 times a day

Hi there and Greeting back to you! Yes, you can definitely go

ahead and increase that Armour. And the advise to increase slowly---

that doesn't apply to what you need to do after you start. If you

don't increase fairly soon after starting on a low dose of Armour

(i.e within 3 weeks), your hypo will return with a vengeance.

Generally, the " slowly " is more appropriate as you get closer to 2

grains, and beyond. And " slowly " is appropriate for anyone who might

have heart issues.......or untreated adrenal issues, etc.

And once you start getting higher, don't forget to divide that dose.

And take the Armour sublingually--letting it dissolve between your

gums and inner cheek.

You're on your way, !!
