I went and got bloodtests then got hemoglobin and bloodpressure.

Hemo is 14.9 was 17 Blood pressure is 128 over 74 was in the 150s

over 90s. Been on Armour for a month. I was so afraid to get my

bloodpressure checked. What a big surprise!!!

Also went to the pharmacy to ask the pharmacist what doctor here

prescribes Armour. She said she didn't know if she could pull that

information from the computer. What a lie huh? Maybe her husband is

a doctor huh?heeee! chuckle

The doctor does not know that I am selftreating yet. If he has any

questions, like why my TSH is 0.00, then I will tell. He would

probably want me to do more tests for pituitary problems. It has

been suppressed even when hypo. Did some research on radioactive

iodine. It says the TSH is not a good indicator of thyroid function

after RAI. The ft3 and ft4 needs to be checked.chuckle chuckle!!!!!

Congrats Betty! My blood pressure went from 195 over 97 to 100 over 68 with

changing form Synthroid to Armour. I also stopped the three meds I was taking

for high blood pressure, don;t need them now! I have also added in sea salt to

my foods and I believe that has helped my fluid retention and high blood

pressure. Not ONE doctor ever suggested that my blood pressure might be due to

the fluid retention from hypothyroidism. It was !

> Yes, I had the same problem, my blood pressure was high but the

doctor just would not admit it was from hypoT. They would rather

prescribe bloodpressure medicine, high cholesterol medicine. It just

makes me want to puke. We ought to be able to live a little longer

now. I'm sticking to Armour for sure.

Hahahahaha, yes, mustn't forget the Cholesterol meds... I have been prescribed

them about 20 times over the years and never took them. I had read a LONG time

ago about hypothyroidism and high cholesterol and knew what was causing it. I

also knew the cure but couldn;t get a doctor to prescribe Armour for me!

I took a statin that the nice doctor prescribed to me because my cholesterol was

304. I said okay I will try it. When I started getting very hypo, and on the

statin, my upper shoulders started hurting. Then my legs and feet. I went to the

docs office in so much pain, couldn't hardly walk. Practically in tears from so

much pain.

The FNP told me to quit taking them.Quit taking it, about 3 days later the pain

started to subside. Never, Never will I take a statin again. I don't know if I

can say the name of it. It is a very popular statin that starts with L.
