Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 interesting - I never had leg cramps - until I switched to Armour! I've had them ever since. My TSH is points lower than it was on synthroid. STill - I know that I need more. But - I find it interesting about the cramps in my calf muscles. Cris Your NUTRITIONAL NEEDS are GREATER now >Low nutrition or nurtritional uptake that is not adequate for your >increased metabolic rate. This can easily happen in hypothyroidism >bcause hypothyroidism interferes with the uptake of nutrition. Tish's post reminds me to remind everyone that you need to be on good supplements, especially high potency B-vitamins. Your need for them increases with hypothyroid, JUST AS it increases as you improve your health and metabolism with natural thyroid. Additionally, there may be absorption problems that remain even with good treatment. I have noted a huge increase in my nighttime leg cramps, and I am suspecting that I am not getting enough magnesium in what I eat. I also am one who HAS to be on daily iron, otherwise my levels drop drastically. There is a good supplement list in the FILES section. We should all take heed. Janie TSH output.
