Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 My goodness that's great for you, Sim, that you're feeling so much better so fast. What dosage of Armour are you on? And are you self-medicating or is it a Rx from your doctor? Wish I could say the same. Still not feeling much better tho except for warmer hands & feet is all mostly. I still need my Darvocet pain Rx to make me feel at least human enough to get anything done around here & my Estradiol to reduce & tame hot flashes/sweats. And even that's not enough. Caroline Another update on Armour from Sim Hi Everyone; Well, I've been on Armour for four days now, and I feel absolutely wonderful! Yeah! One thing I was curious about: now, most people feel a t3 buzz approx. 2 hours after taking armour, correct? I don't get that, but I sort of peak out after about 6 hours after taking armour ; and I feel pretty good up until bedtime. I guess that means that my body can convert t4 into t3 quite well, but maybe it was the t2 and t1 that the armour provides and that synthroid doesn't that is the missing piece of the jig saw in my case (I did not do well on synthroid). Anyone have any ideas ? Thanks, Sim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Hi Sim and good for you! Some folks are lucky to feel the effects of the Armour fairly immediately, and you are one! Some take a little longer, but they will get there, too. I don't feel a " buzz " from the T3, but I notice a slight lift if I am tired already. ) Armour gives you direct T3, T2 and T1, and all three probably make the difference between being on Armour vs. Synthroid, especially that T3!! How much are you on, by the way?? Janie > Well, I've been on Armour for four days now, and I feel > absolutely wonderful! Yeah!

I just hope that he stays on it, and continues to raise the dose after my body adjusts and is ready to move on. If not, I have already ordered another bottle of armour in order to increase the dose myself. However, if he is too conservative, I won't even tell him if i decide to increase the dose, and make sure that I don't take meds on mornings that I go for bloodwork. I'm sorry that you are still so ill. I wish that I could help. Hang in there, and remember that we are here if you need us.
