Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Caroline and Baron and others, I've never known anyone quite as sick as I was before I switched to Armour. Words cannot come close to desribing what I went through for 17 years on T4-only meds, and at least 5 years before that. I had the most extreme reaction to being hypo and being on inadequate meds that I've ever heard of. It was akin to a disorder called Dysautonomia...and worse. I spent thousands of dollars over those years, and went through all kinds of invasive tests to get help and answers..to no avail. By the time I found out about Armour, I was disabled...and felt worse than horses poop ALL the time. It was awful, awful. Now, I am wonderfully healthy and alive. I own my own store. I stand all day. I feel great (except for issues with female hormones--LOL, and getting over the colon cleanse effect on my MVP.) If I can come full circle like I did, YOU WILL, TOO.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 >what's dysautonomia? It's an extreme malfunction/overreaction of the adrenal glands. My symptoms were almost identical. Awful. They totally stopped when I started on Armour. It was like a miracle. My life changed 360 degrees. That's why I started this group and became a national thyroid advocate. If Armour could do something as powerful as what it did for me, there needed to be a group like this specifically about natural thyroid. And....since then, we have seen folks here whose lives have changed just as profoundly. Armour works. You just have to be patient, correct any other issues that are identified, and be willing to find an optimal dose, sometimes by pushing the limit, 1/4 grain at a time, if needed....

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I want to know what that is too. Some auto immune dysfunction? Also, , you're a great role model for the rest of us. Very heartening to hear how the Armour helped you so much. I never saw this original email from . Wonder why I'm not receiving some email messages but reading them second-hand when someone else responds to them first? Strange...very strange. Re: Yes, there is hope Baron, Caroline and others thank you for sharing that. what's dysautonomia? also, this won't get you out of sending out chocolate to everyone. sorry. b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
