Added bed-time dose of Armour

[Guest guest]

Barb, I changed to your dosing schedule of 1/2 - 1/2 - 1/2 - 3/8. The

good news is that it didn't prevent me from getting to sleep as I

feared it might. I didn't sleep better than the nights prior - I wake

up to urinate at around 2AM and I wake up at 4am but I can get back to

sleep. Then I wake up at around 6:30 which is OK b/c I usually have

to get up to go to work at around 7AM. This morning I was falling

back to sleep when my dog decided to vomit next to my bed - it's a

conspiracy between my wife and pets to prevent me from sleeping

The bad news is that I could really feel the lack of the extra T3 in

those smaller doses during the day yesterday - I was feeling pretty

hypo all day. It's amazing how that little 1/8 grain chip of Armour

can make so big a difference. Today was better - less fatigue, neck

didn't hurt and my GI was good until tonight which is when I usually

have most of my GI problems anyway. My temps have also sunk to high

97s to 98 but they're nice and tight over the past three days:

98.17

97.90

97.95

Maybe spreading out the Armour doses is doing as you all say and

stressing the adrenals even less. If they stay in this range, I'll go

up again in two days. I'm assuming that you would suggest adding the

next 1/8 to the bed-time dose?

Thanks,

I would, simply cause I'm sick and tired of cutting pills LOL! And

while of course we want to get to our optimal dose, if I have to

increase further, it means back to cutting pills again *sigh*.
