Weak adrenals are usually the reason you can't tolerate the thyroid supps.

What does it mean when you can't tolerate taking armour? Could

something else be going on in the picture?

I was unable to go higher than 30 mg of Armour till I got my ferritin up and

my female hormones stable.

As already stated, there are two reasons why someone is not

tolerating Armour---sluggish adrenals, and/or low Ferritin.

If you have sluggish adrenals, you will need to stop the Armour, get

on optimal adrenal support for a week or two or more if needed, then

resume the Armour while continuing adrenal support.

If you have low Ferritin, you need to get on strong iron support.

For example, I took Ferrous Sulfate, 325 mg. tabs, 2-3 times a day

in order to get my Ferritin up. Only then was I able to continue my

rise of Armour. It was at 2 grains where I had problems; Jamy had

problems at 30 mgs. You don't have to stop Armour---just stop where

you are, and improve the iron, which can take many weeks.

And I should have added--some folks simply have to start VERY low,

like 1/4 grain, and go up in VERY small doses, to allow their bodies

to adjust. And ALWAYS divide your daily doses..two or more times a

day. Janie
