Re: ps about Armour/Cortef

[Guest guest]

Have you thought about doing a search on Armour

Thyroid and Cortef? Usually, there is all kinds of info from the pill &

dosage to allergic reactions, drug interactions, how to start/stop, etc.

Good luck!

Thanks Donna. I'm now certain that what I took was the Armour.

Unfortunately it didn't help and just led to a flare-up. I've been

dx'd as having subclinical hypothyroid as well as low adrenals. I'm

glad to hear that Armour helps you. I'm supposed to go to a follow-up

appt. so I'll ask--he did seem to think I would get worse on it if I

started with that so maybe it has to do with my adrenals.
