Re: Addition of T4 or T3 to Sheila & Janie

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila,

For me it's the same, I tried upping Armour to my highest limit, but

I could never get it right. There were many positive changes, but I

remained unbalanced. Because of you I added 25 mcg levoxyl (reduced

a little with the Armour)and it made a huge difference. I felt

fabulous for the first time in 6 years! I felt great for an entire

month. Who could believe that? So I thought, let's see what happens

if I add more T4. So I reduced my Armour even more and added more

T4, since I've read some people take half/half and feel better with

that too. But that was too much of the good thing for ME ... hehehe.

It wasn't working, it wasn't working AT ALL. My body is just not

converting any T4 I guess. So I have no clue why the 25 mcg does

it's job, but it does.... and I'm very thankful to you for

mentioning this.

Just my two cents for this discussion ......

I'm still recovering from my last experiment, (half Armour/half

Levoxyl), severe astma and painful breasts, muscle pain and

weakness. BAD. I have it for 5 weeks already. I'm very tired of

being sick ....
