DO the thin eyebrows ever grow back after supplementation with Armour?

~Inga

October 28, 2004

Hmmm....

I suspect the Armour is helping but not fully doing the job. (My blood tests

have been fine for thyroid - most medical doctors ty to take me off of it,

but the minute I am off thryroid my periods stop and vice versa. I KNOW I

need it. I have all the typical symptoms. Bioenergetically tested, I need

it hands down.

But if after 3 1/2 years of treatment they don't come back, then what?

Then again, I just got the dosage upped about 3 months ago.

Did you lose most of your pubic hair too?

I don't know, but I hope not, as I like them now for the first time in my

life. I inherited my father's very bushy eyebrows and always had to tweeze

them, which HURTS! A few days ago I was rereading the report from the

last endo I went to, and he mentioned I didn't have thin eyebrows. Did he

bother to ask me how they USED to look ? Jerk. ...joan

Oh, that's great news!!!! It would be wonderful to have whole, instead of l/2

eyebrows again. I feel naked if I go out without drawing on the outter l/2 of

my brows. Been doing that since about age 30 as I recall. Must have had thyroid

problems way back then & have only been on Synthroid for about 5 years as tested

or treated by doctors. My, my how efficient & thorough my doctors all were.

Yeah, right!!

I've been on what I consider to be a proper dose for several months now, and

I'm still waiting. I think that this has something to do with our missing

testosterone and/or estrogens (?) myself. We have a tendency to be missing

more of our little bit of male hormone a whole lot faster than other women.

I guess it would depend on which body parts or systems were more affected

from one person to another. I shave off all 5 leg hairs also, every now and

then, plus the pubic hair is missing, for the most part. I think it's more

of a testosterone thing.

Must be male hormone related for hair growth, yes..makes sense. I have no need

to shave anywhere anymore. There's nothing left to shave off. Maybe under my

arms a bit is all. But at my age & not married or having any intimate

relationships, why bother? So I don't.

I use mascara on top of a real light pencillng. Makes for a pretty darn

natural look...picks up the little peach fuzz hairs for me.

I am dark blonde and use a cheap pencil from " Wet n Wild " (Blonde) and then

use a DRY brown mascara brush...dark brown or black is okay too..just gives

a MUCH more natural and better look than a pencil or powder brow liner job.

Trouble with mine is that there aren't any little outer hairs on the outer

third to catch the color, so it has to literally be pencilled in, if I even

wear any makeup at all. It just makes me sick because I feel like it is the

eyebrows that give the eyes their expression, and I had always had these

thick full eyebrows. Within a couple of yrs, starting about 3 yrs ago, I

suddenly no longer had to tweeze. Then it got worse.

With my skinny legs I never wear shorts downtown or even in my own home or

Sorry to hear that about your eye brows and that you can't even use mascara

.. I really don't have anything at the outer edges either, but can still get

some extra oompf with mascara.

Ah, vanity....but I agree that what you say about eyebrows and expresison.

My worst problem is severe mercury poisoning...I am lucky t o even be alive

at this point.

I joined this site becasue I wonder if maybe the thyroid supplementation is

not doing quite what it needs to and wonder what tips I might pick up.

I take three grains now.

Last year, when I got real ill, when they tested me bioenergetically. she

said that my body wasn't even using the thyroid I was taking anyway....

Anybody have any input on how to get the body to use the thyroid?

Does anybody do basal temperature testing to see how things are ogn?

YES, lots of T3. I did not even begin to feel like I was getting thyroid

till I added in some pure Cytomel to the Armour. I also have adjusted my

dosages with body temps, and find it to be very accurate. I am now holding a

98.3-4 average but I started around 95.5 to 96 average. On 4.5 grains Armour

I was still floundering in hypoland big time, but then I added in 25 MCG

Cytomel and both the way I felt and the temps started coming up. I am now on

a huge dose of 7 grains Armour and 37.5 mcg Cytomel, but so far I am feeling

pretty good on this dosage. My problem seems to be resistance as I am sure

you would have as well.

yea...and some of us...like me..have heart trouble because doctors wouldn't

I just talked to a friend who said her cardiologist warned against taking high

doses when self-medicating with thyroid supplements. She said some people who've

been self-medicating for a long time have been getting heart trouble from doing

so.

She said that taking more & more thyroid hormone is like being on Speed or any

other type of drug because people feel so good on it they keep taking more &

more to feel even better

I asked her what about treating symptoms that go away when self-medicating but

don't on the lower doses or with just the Synthroid & such the doctors tests for

& prescribe? . She didn't comment on the eradication of symptoms but kept

referring to what her cardiologist said. So take that for what it's worth.
