Don't be afraid to rise as high as 6-8 grains if you still have symptoms!

[Guest guest]

Occasionally, there will be folks here who are up to 4-5 grains and

STILL don't have the symptom-free life they want. This is due to a

condition called " thyroid-resistance " ---that is, your tissues don't

respond as readily to thyroid hormone as do most other people's

tissues. And.....you may have a VERY high T3, yet your symptoms

persist!

If you are the above, don't be afraid to continue rising that Armour

dose--and don't let your labs scare you!! Some folks with tissue

resistance can go as high as 6-8 grains. It's SYMPTOMS that are

important anyway.

I agree with this, also. I have read material from before 1970 that

indicated that some people needed doses as high as 9 grains. With

Armour, there should be no adverse long-term effects. There are

definitely adverse long-term effects for a low metabolic rate. Too

many to mention.

You're giving me more confidence here! I am at 5 grains with 50MCG Cytomel.

I still have osme symptoms. I need ot stay at this dose a few more weeks,

but then if I don;t feel MUCH better, I will be going to 6 a day.My last

increase of a full grain I didn't even feel & it has been about a month.

Hi !! If you don't find a doc who agrees, this is where folks

start to self-treat. My pulse got higher on higher doses, but it's

because of having MVP. Your body also needs time to adjust. Let us

know how it all turns out, OK??

Well, what do you mean by difference? Do you mean that you are still having

symptoms, and if so, what kind of symptoms were you experiencing, as opposed

to now? I'm sorry, I must have missed a post somewhere, probably because my

emails are all out of order, and I don't seem to be able to make them in

order on my Outlook Express. It has ascending and descending order, but the

answer to one is still sometimes way above the other one.
