Sleeping - Night Dose of Armour

[Guest guest]

, hubby got NO sleep Thursday night. Said his heart was pounding

all night. Took his 3 a.m. pill as usual, but he was already up. I

think he might've dozed a little after that.

Anyway, what I wanted to say was that I knew heart pounding was a hypo

symptom, so we added a third dose of Armour at 10:30 p.m. and last

night he slept SOOO deeply. He's been a light sleeper for as long as I

can remember, and last night he didn't even wake when I came to bed!

He's now taking 1/8 grain 3x day, at 8 a.m, 4 p.m (with last Iso dose),

and 10:30 p.m. With no sleep Thursday night, he was miserable on

Friday, very depressed, no energy, etc., but his temps were close

enough to the day's before so I gave him that additional 1/8 (!!) grain

and it was amazing how much better he was today.

Just wanted to share. Glad to hear you got some sleep too!

I'm only substituting the cream for the night-time dose so far. Val

usually says to swap out one dose at a time and that's the one that I

think was causing me the most trouble. I got one of those little

jewel scales that people were talking about a while back and it seems

to be working OK for me. I know that I need more Armour badly but I

just don't want to lay awake all night from it. Maybe I'll try that

1/8 before bed.

Wcan get it here in the states at any pharmacy OTC (over the counter). It really

varies in price. My first tube, I got at my regular pharmacy. The next tube, I

got from a discount store and it was half of the price.
