Re: second day on Armour and I think it's too much!

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to follow up. I did go see Dr. Launius today and was glad I went.

I have vitamin D deficiency and iron deficiency that he wants to treat before I

begin thyroid meds again. He thinks that is why I had the terrible reaction.

He felt I may handle Synthroid better due to my good converting and bc of

Armour's higher T3 ratio. i just have a sensitive system apparently So I

start synthroid 100 in a few weeks.

Thanks for all who recommended and for the posts!

> Hi all....I am a 32 yo Hashimoto's recent diagnosis. I was prescribed Armour,

30 mg, and took it yesterday and this morning. I feel so bad! I am getting

really winded and having a high pulse, and have had diarrhea and a mild headache

for both days. I am wondering, is this normal and I will adjust, so should I

just give it time and cope, or should I call the doctor to lower the dose? I

really dont want to even take it tomorrow, but was hoping some of you had

similar experience or some knowledge. I am a little afraid I screwed myself up

> Also, my prescribing dr. is nice, but I feel like might not be so experienced.

She was a little too open to my ideas I like to be listened to, but I felt

as if I were leading her. any experienced drs with Hashi's? I live in Denton.

thanks so so much for any advice!!!
