Re: Janie - Addition of T4 or T3--oops, let's clairfy this

[Guest guest]

Janie - I just wanted to add a little to this. When I first came

here, you said you had a gut feeling that I should go back to the

level of armour where I originally felt good (at that point was taking

armour + T4) -- and that the problems that I began having back then

were probably due to something else like adrenal or iron.

At the time, I wasn't ready to hear that because so many probably

started for me after the armour and I was scared to death to try

again. But I filed the info in my very tired brain and kept reading

and learning.
