Unable to tolerate any thyroid replacement drugs

[Guest guest]

Hello

Since I've been taking the cortef, it's become apparent that I can't

tolerate any Armour at all. All I get are side effects, despite

having been treating my adrenals for months now. I've just come back

from holiday, where I stopped taking the Armour as the anxiety and

excessive sweating it was giving me did not go hand-in-hand with

learning to dive in the tropics. I tried to give the levothyroxine a

go on my return home, but that gives me terrible insomnia.

Has anyone got any ideas? I'm trying to get an appointment with Dr P

at the moment, so hopefully he'll be able to help, but I'm now

starting to get banging headaches from a lack of any thyroid drugs

at all and I'm not sure how long I'll have to wait to see him.

I also have another question about monitoring temps, because all the

info I've found seems to be contradictory. How many times a day

should I be taking my temperature and at what time(s)?

Any info/advice gratefully received.

Thanks, Jane
