This really worked for me...taking it all in the morning initially.

Then...because i still had hypo symptoms...i started adding on in the afternoon.

It

just seems its hard for your body to start repairing unless it gets a big

enough dose at a time.

Shana,

It seems as though some folks can increase relatively quickly and

some have to go slowly. You won't know until you try, but try to be

patient and go slow. From everything I've read from everybody who

has switched, it is SO worth it! I am very happy I switched from

Levothroid to Armour and I'm just a newbie like you -- about 4 weeks

and still on one grain and still hypo but feeling better. It takes

time!

And be firm with your doctor! If you want to give Armour a

reasonable try, don't let him switch you back so fast! Good luck!

LOL like me!!

I've waited so long - I see the light at the end of the horizen now - and am

willing to wait this one out a little while. Not forever though!!

now that I've learned so much from all of you! I didn't think that I had that

choice before!

Never again will i be at the mercy of some narcisstic doctor who has to look

at my blood work to decide if i feel good or not. If the doc doesn't get that

I have enough sense to know whether I still have hypo symptoms or not...then

the doc is plain out ignorant.

my body definitely hasn't started to repair itself yet - by a long shot -

I took my last pill today - of my 1st 30 days. Tomorrow, I'll take 2 together

instead and see how that works.
