Re: itching + bilary cirrhosis

[Guest guest]

Oh this is not cool. I had severe itching (driving me crazy) as you

may recall about 3 weeks ago when I made the switch from synthroid to

Armour. It did almost go away after a few weeks, but has been coming

back a little the last day or so. I'm thinking because it is about

time to increase my dose. Also having lots of neck and shoulder

achiness. I am only on 1 grain so far. Would be interested to hear

more about this though.
