Re: FIBROMYALGIA---who got relief from Armour?? Tigger

[Guest guest]

Tigger, are your continued struggles due to not being on enough

Armour yet, or are they related to the Fibro, no matter how

optimally treated on Armour you are? So far, if I am reading

everything correctly, Jamy and Lynda are saying the Armour improved

the Fibro, but it's still an issue---pointing to the possibility

that Fibromyalgia is a separate disease.....(as compared to CFS

probably being untreated hypo).

there are times I feel a little better or a little worse. I keep

pushing every day to get through the day. My excitement this weekend

was to be able to do " nothing " . Well, actually, I'm going to try to

go for a bike ride later today.

Tigger, have you been on 2 grains long enough to experiment

increasing? There was a time that I thought 2 grains was my optimal

dose. But I began experimenting and got up to 3 grains, 1/4 grain at

a time, and it's been great. I know we are different, but it might

be worth exploring? I've also had remarkable changes in my weight

issues since I got up to 3 grains. I've never been terribly

overweight, but neither have I been able to lose weight easily and

keep it down, like I do now.

Janie, actually I have been on two grains for awhile... not counting the day the

dog at my meds.

I'm also taking Delta 2.5 mg daily.

I'm also wondering about absobability from the by-pass surgery. Also wondering

if I wasn't on enough of the Armour because of weight. I'm so confused.

Tigger

[Guest guest]

Tigger, from my own experience both with myself and others I have been

chatting his subject with, 2 grains is a very small dose of Armour. I am up

to 5 and still probably need more, and that is with added T3 as I have

problems from insecticide poisoning years ago. My 20 pound cat is taking 2

grains Armour a day and doing well on it!

Tigger, I am thinking the absorbability won't be an issue if you are

doing the Armour sublingually.

As far as the two grains, you may certainly still be underdosed. If

you feel comfortable about the amount of Delta you are taking, you

could consider starting another rise in your Armour. And as far as

weight, go by symptoms rather than weight. If you still have

symtoms, no matter what you weigh, it can be a sign you aren't at

your optimal dose yet.

Tigger, if your doc gives you problems for self-treating when you

were that bad off, you need a new doc.

I can't remember (please forgive) are you on adrenal support? Also where

Tigger,

Take your Armour sublingually and you won't have absorption problems.

But if you have been swallowing, and you switch to sublingual, I'd wait

a few weeks before any increases.

I'm taking 2.5 mg. of Delta. I live in Rhode Island.

I'm wondering if the Delta is even being absorbed because it's enteric coated.

I feel quite screwed up right now.

I've been taking the Armour sublingually, right now I'm wondering about the

Delta. It might just pass right through. Gastric by-pass people are not suppose

to take enteric coated things or time released because the part of the stomach

that breaks these down is gone.

Any suggestions on the Delta?

Hmmm really likes the Delta, but I have had really good luck with

the Isocort. I chose it b/c it is dessicated adrenal cortex. I was

about to try the Delta, but then was able to see doc Milton so am

waiting to see what he says now. It is not coated plus I some have

posted that they do it sublingually.
