Re: Adding T4 or T3

[Guest guest]

Hi Janie;

I know. Unfortunately, I have to wait until *a* shipment of

armour arrives (Myrxforless still has not come, and it is now over 4

weeks. I also ordered from antiaging, and received notice today that

it was shipped on 12/3).

It's all about the math, you know? If I up my armour dose anymore

now, I'll run out before I get in more supply. Then, ALL I'll have

as an option is t4! So, I am trying to stretch things out

temporarily.

The synthetic t4 feels stronger to me, probably because it is a

synthetic. That's why I added a little sprinkle, and am just trying

to deal with any negatives that come with it until I get my shipment

from antiaging. I also have a doc's app't on the 17th, so who knows?

Maybe he'll be cool and prescribe more. That's another reason that

I'm going slow w/ the increases. This way, the doc can't accuse me

of being impatient or irresponsible w/ the dosages; and may feel

more inclined to trust me witha new prescription!lol. After all,

what is 45 mgs of armour and 12.5 mcgs of synthroid? Nothing! He

can't accuse me of being radical.
