Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Being hypo has a lot to do with everything. You were under-dosed on the Armour and that is why you were feeling tired. Good that you have a doc who will give you Armour! cw -- Low Iron and Hypothyroidism Hello, I have not been on for a while. I was on 1 grain of Armour for 1 year, and started feeling so very tired all the time. Last time I saw doc about three weeks ago she said that my iron was very low 6% saturated? What does this mean? She put me on 3 grains of Armour and iron! My fingernails are actually growing and I feel much better. In 2005 my iron was really low. My question is...Does being hypothyroid have anything to do with iron deficiency? Thanks __________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I don't believe in the method of dosing to how you feel exclusively because there could be other reasons you do or don't feel well. I think testing is important too, otherwise you are operating in the dark, and too much thyroid can give you heart problems. Roni & Tina <bamachoppers@...> wrote: I guess I need to read more!

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think that things are different for everyone. For my 16 year old sister, for example, we caught her hashi's early with a TSH of 5 and high antibodies. Now, all she needs to take is about 1.25 grains and this gives her a TSH of about 0.8 I think? We did have her on two grains for a while but she shot into hyper T mode with a 0.03 TSH and complained of a pounding heart and shakiness.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 , The dose of 1.25 grains sounds a little too low for a complete dose. Usually Hashi's patients require more to fully suppress their anti bodies and feel well. Usually a full dose of Armour will get the TSH much lower, almost zero. I appreciate what you are saying about her feeling ill in taking 2 grains, but sometimes people feel ill (fast heart, headaches, bowel upset) by increasing the dosage too fast. Usually you have to increase a quarter grain about every 7-10 days. It is common to have a headache for a day or so after doing so. Are her FT3 and FT4 levels in the top third of the range?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Neil- From what my Mom told me, she was increasing it very slowly ... I was the one saying she should increase it by more lol. A TSH in the 0.03 range is scary to me and her free T3 was way higher than the normal range. We caught her hypoT so early I don't think we should make her numbers go to the hyperT side that drastically. I don't see how a significant amount of her thyroid could have been killed with a TSH of only 5. I'll ask my Mom how she's doing ... she may be taking a higher dose now because she started birth control (please save the religious speeches everyone).

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I started on Armour recently, and I think I feel better. I am aware of the placebo effect, so I always reserve judgement on such things till I am sure it's real. How come you are taking compounded Armour and not filling the rx you got?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thank you Chuck...You always answer the real question. Thank everyone so much! My endo. has never given anyone Armour before, but she said " hey I'll try anything within reason to make you feel better! " When I print the responses from some in this group, she actually reads them! I know it's kinda scary, but I think we are learning about Armour together!

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Forest Labs [i think] makes Armour and set the maximum dosage recommendation. Are you saying Forest Labs sets this limit to keep people sick, so they will have to buy other products that Forest Labs makes? > > Re: Low Iron and Hypothyroidism > <hypothyroidism/message/35470;_ylc=X3oDMTJxaW4waWN\ wBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzE0NTY2NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDkyNTEwODIEbXNnSWQDMzU0NzAEc2V\ jA2Rtc2cEc2xrA3Ztc2cEc3RpbWUDMTIwMDg3NzUyOA--> > > > > Posted by: " Gracia " circe@... > <mailto:circe@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Low%20Iron%20and%20Hypothyroidism> > graciabee <graciabee> > > > Sun Jan 20, 2008 5:05 pm (PST) > > > sure they like to make money---on their patented drugs. if you are > undertreated for thyroid then you will need psych drugs, cholesterol, > rheumi etc etc. > Gracia > > So we have a pharmaceutical company recommending a maximum dose that is > less than optimal for AVERAGE use???

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Uh, Chuck? I've been told by Hashi's people doing this, that at their individual full replacement doses of Armour, with taking adrenal support (where necessary), and selenium (and magnesium where necessary), that their antibodies are no longer measurable.
