Hi

I saw Dr Skinner recently as I was not responding well to a dose

raise by GP from 100 to 125 despite a TSH of 16.1. I was still

hypothyroid but symptoms of Hyper began also intermittently.

Dr Skinner said as my ferritin was 25.1 (lower limit 25) I should

start ferrous sulphate 3 times a day, start B12 tablets (although not

sure if this was due to a blood test result or not), and begin to add

Armour to my 100mcg thyroxine dose.

I started by taking 1/4 am and 1/4 pm for (almost) a week, with no

ill effects except a hypoglaecemic episode 2 hours after very first

dose. 3 days into it I had two days of improvement followed by a

return of symptoms. On Saturday I upped it to 1/2 and 1/2.

It has been hard to tell over the last few days whether there has

been more improvement in the fatigue etc as my 20 month old has had a

temperature and chest infection and so has had me up all night and

therefore very tired!

This morning I had some hyper type symptoms for the first time ince

starting the armour - but I don't feel well yet? I still feel achey

and tired (though much improved than when I first had that high

TSH). Pulse has gone up to 92 and basal temp is 36.2 and have had

upset tummy this morning.

I forgot to mention to DR Skinner when we were there, but I had had

quite a lot of nausea over the week or two before I went ot see him,

and that has continued, along with a weird metallicy taste in my

mouth...

Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks
