yes, things will get better. it does take time. sometimes some trial and

error. and sometimes fixing other things along the way that got messed up with

the hypo.

I've been taking Armour for about 9 months...and in many ways, feel better

than I have during the last 10 years. I'm on 3 3/4 grains. But I know I'm

still healing in ways. So hang in there.
