Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Steph, When did you start the armour? I did armour for a little while but it caused my rapid heart beats, I think my dose was too high or something but I think it works on the T4 and T3 where synthroid only the T4. I guess I didn't need both?? Oh, when I was on armour I also had insomnia big time. I had so much energy - - like the little energizer bunny. My aches and pains did subside for a while but now they just come and go out of the blue. I think mine has a lot to do with my on going auto-immune issues though. I have tested positive for auto-immune issues, so don't let me worry you. If you haven't, I am sure yours will subside because I do think I flare when my auto-immue flares. When I am not flaring, my joints and muscles feel great.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Lynn, I started the armour a couple of weeks ago. I was on 30 mg/day but my dr changed it to 15 mg/day in case that was causing the rapid hearbeat. How do you know whether or not you need T4 and T3? What auto immune issues have you tested postive for?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Steph, You will know if you need Armour (dessicated thyroid) or Synthroid (synthetic T4) based on two things: 1) Your test results for Free T3 and Free T4, 2) your symptoms If your test results show a low Free T3 or low T4, then you will need a thyroid med that supplies the T3 as well as the T4. T4 naturally converts into the more powerful T3, but if you have a problem with conversion or a low T4 to start with, then you will not be able to make enough T3 for your needs. You can usually tell by your symptoms if your chosen thyroid med is working for you. I personally prefer Armour (T3+T4) over Synthroid, which is synthetic. Some people feel better on one over the other, however. Synthroid is often better tolerated by those who have adrenal exhaustion issues. You can see some guidelines (which I will post) regarding this subject at this link from the International Hormone Society. Note that thyroxin=T4, and triiodothyronine = T3. http://intlhormonesociety.org/index.php? option=com_content & task=view & id=37 & Itemid=71 & tomHack_idp=1 As hypothyroidism has serious adverse consequences on the quality of life and health of patients, we recommend that physicians, in light of the solid evidence here collected, should first try to treat hypothyroid patients with a combined thyroxin and triiodothyronine preparation. As the combination treatment contains the immediately active triiodothyronine, we recommend that physicians follow some safety guidelines, in addition to the obvious one of avoiding overdoses when they administer thyroxin and triiodothyronine medications. Following the measures listed below increases the safety and tolerance of the treatment: 1. The first guideline is to start the treatment at very low doses and then to slowly and gradually increase the dose until clinical euthyroidism is reached. 2. The second guideline is to tell the patient to avoid all caffeinated and similar stimulating drinks that may increase the orthosympathic activity. 3. The third guideline is to regularly follow-up the patient with a good clinical interview and examination and laboratory tests every two to twelve months depending on the patient's needs. 4. The fourth guideline is to carefully screen for adrenal deficiency in hypothyroid patients, as some patients with low or borderline low cortisol levels may poorly tolerate any type of thyroid medication, and in particular thyroxin-triiodothyronine combinations. The intolerance may come from over-activity of the orthosympathic nervous system that often accompanies states of low Cortisol, and an excessive and rapid conversion of thyroxin to triiodothyronine that puts these patients easily into a state of excess T3 and thus hyperthyroidism, and further increases the orthosympathic activity. In patients with Cortisol deficiency, we recommend the physician to treat the low cortisol state prior to or simultaneously with the thyroid treatment. If not, thyroxin alone may be the better treatment of hypothyroidism in the presence of an untreated cortisol deficiency. In most other instances, thyroxin and triiodothyronine remains the first, but not exclusive, choice for treatment of hypothyroidism for the International Hormone Society's Consensus Group. Concerning the debate about which combination treatment works best: synthetic T3-T4 or desiccated thyroid, the Consensus Group states the following: Reports of patients feeling better on desiccated thyroid may have scientific evidence as these preparations contain along with T3 and T4 a number of other substances that may have some thyroid activity as diiodo-and monoiodo-thyronines. In addition, the binding of much of the thyroid hormones to the bigger thyroglobulin molecule allows a slower intestinal absorption and, later, once arrived in the bloodstream, a slower release of thyroid hormones in the blood, thereby insuring a more persistent action and a better tolerance by spreading the action over a longer period of time. Thus, desiccated thyroid may work better. The view that the potency of thyroid preparations of animal origin may have more fluctuations has arguments. For this reason, preference is given to preparations that are officially registered and well- controlled. It must be said that the frequent FDA-recalls of poorly reliable, less potent than announced thyroxin preparations of various pharmaceutical firms in the USA, makes thyroxin not a better alternative. In the light of the Mad Cow's Disease, the International Hormone Society does not recommend the use of desiccated thyroid of beef origin. For these reasons, the position adopted by the Consensus Group members of The International Hormone Society is that both type of T3-T4 preparations have their pros and cons, and the freedom of choice between these two should be left to the physician.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi Steph, My TPO which is the auto-immune for the Thyroid was 350! I think normal is like 1-40 or something. I also had a high ANA 1:160 & then 1:360. My Rheumy says I could get Lupus but I just don't have " enough " symptoms yet. So, we will see... Are you still having rapid heart beats? I am not sure about the conversion, I know Patty knows more on that. I am on Synthroid though and not Armour. From your TSH, it sounds like you needed a little thyroid support. It takes awhile to level out in your body so try to be patient.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Lynn, I swore off rheumatologists for 10 years so they could not give me updates. My test results improved a great deal during that time. Lynda At 08:10 PM 1/21/2008, you wrote: >Hi Steph, > >My TPO which is the auto-immune for the Thyroid was 350!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I know I need to too Lynda. I am just scared right now with as the new symptoms that match up with Lupus keep cropping up. I know I am singing to the choir here. I am sure you are scared too. I need to change my attitude ASAP! I got very depressed this weekend. I joined a Lupus group but it is so sad over there, so many people are so so sick. They are taking horribly toxic drugs. But I did find a 40 year old who has Lupus and has 10 year old salines! Maybe there is a reason I joined the board.... I have to leave it up to God. He has a path and I have to remember that. Oh, and I need to take care of the body He gave me. I hope you are staying warm. I am so sick of this weather! Had to work until 7:00 and it was 2 degrees when I left work. BLAH! I hope you get great news tomorrow.
