Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi all.I am now going on week four on my " thyroid meds " known armour to you all.I did the switch from levothyroxine 125. I must admit it was not easy going. I take 45 mg in the morning and the other 45 in mid afternoon.I am on my own on this as doctor does not understand but willing try...I am glad to say that all posts have helped me understand each day a little more.I am still struggling with leaving my comfort zone as I am tired and I still have my anxiety/panic modes going. I know that it may take a long time to heal.....Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 >Trying to go at it slowly for I really want this to work..... Oh, don't have any doubts. Armour works and Armour works beautifully. There is just that period of finding the optimal amount, and you are certainly not there yet. If needed, get your adrenals tested to see if you need support there. Hang on, kiddo. You WILL get there. Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sick for about 8 years before being diagnosed with Graves then for three years after that I tried the medication thing to see if it would burn out.....not.....RAI then was done ten years ago.I have an Aunt who also had Graves and that was in the 50's .She had RAI done twice.My mother was never diagnosed either but I must agree also with you that I suspect she too had a thyroid problem when I look at the past.
