I googled it & found this on the STTM site:

" Near the end of April 2006, I squelched the fear and increased the

HC to 25 mg. In 2 days, I experienced what we call a thyroid dump. I

had been way too low on cortisol this whole time, so my Armour was

just building up in my blood and not getting into the cells. When the

thyroid was suddenly taken up into the cells, it was too much and I

experienced sudden hyperthyroid symptoms. My temperature soared from

the usual 97.5 to 99.1! I was hot and sweaty, achy, nauseous and

could not sleep at all. I had to stop taking Armour for 2 days .

Once the thyroid dump passed, I was suddenly feeling better. My

afternoon fatigue left completely. I was no longer having fluctuating

temperatures. Stress dosing became almost non existent. I started

back on the Armour at 3.25 grains (1 grain lower than it was before).

I increased my Armour back up by 0.25 grain every week until I was

back at 4.25 grains. This was truly a turning point in my journey. "

Rosie,

I've been having similar problems so have upd to 25mg (deltacortril

5mg and HC 5mg) haven't taken any Armour today and in alot of fear

about plummeting into hyponess..must be driving Val nuts....I can't

seem to even tolerate 1 grain at the momoent. Have you continued with

25mg HC? and how long have you been taking this much?

Thanks for posting,

Sara

It wasn't me! It was from Missy's story on the Stop The Thyroid

Madness site.

Me, I live in hope of getting that far that I experience a thyroid

dump! I'm currently taking 15mg HC & though I do feel better, I don't

feel it is enough. I've been on it less than two weeks after my

attempt to switch to Armour failed mightily - I tried half a grain but

it took less than three days to send me bonkers. Since then, I'm back

on the thyroxine. I'll be seeing Dr P in January so I reckon I'll hold

on till then.

All the best on your quest,

Thanks Rosie, so you must be in the UK? I'm in Ireland and hoping to

be well enough to travel to see Dr P in a couple of weeks. Do you get

any dizziness or vertigo from the HC?

Yes, I live in Wimbledon, so it is convenient for me to see Dr P in

Crawley. It feels like it's meant to be. I am pinning my hopes on

this one.

No, I don't think so, but then I feel generally cr*p anyway from low

blood pressure, ME & other lovelies. Armour made me feel like my head

was going to explode. Since I've been on the HC I feel better. A bit.

Where are you going to see Dr P?
