Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 My Dr has been prescribing armour forever. I just never knew about it. He is a geriatric Dr as well as an internist, so I suppose this is why. Why he put me on synthroid is beyond me. He is a tsh worshipper I think. The amount he gave me to start with sounds like an enormous amount to start with, now that I have been here, and have seen all the advise from everyone. But maybe is right, some people just need a big dose to begin with. I haven't had any major hyper symtoms or palpitati0ns. The only thing that bothers me is if I don't eat. I have taken Tish's advice and am dividing up my doses. It seems to help get me through the day better. Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Many only prescribe Armour to their elderly patients that started thyroid therapy before the synthetics came out. When they try to move them to the synthetic, the patient doesnt' do as well and demand their Armour back. Also my reg doc told me that some people are allergic to somthing in the synthetics so he gives them Armour. But he doesn't go by symptoms and won't let me raise it high enough. So I went to a top doc. Debbie K. My Dr My Dr has been prescribing armour forever. I just never knew about it. He is a geriatric Dr as well as an internist, so I suppose this is why.
