armour increase /unstable temps

[Guest guest]

I'm on 30 mg HC. I'm dosing 10 10 5 5 but had been doing 12.5 10 5 2.5

to see if I could get stable temps.(I'm still so tired) I'm on 2.5

grains of Armour. My face is getting rounder and the last two days

bags under my eyes (that's new)

I'm a little dizzy when I first lie down or get up. My middle finger's

first joint feels like it's asleep. (don't know if it's related at

all) My temps are low but

I'm just flummoxed as to the next step. This is taking forever to get

straight. I'm thinking I need to increase Armour. I don't want to fool

with sex hormones yet but wonder if I should. And advice or

encouragement is appreciated

So, are you saying temps are still not stable? You don't want to increase

Armour if temps are not stable. You could have an issue with thyroid not

getting into the cells with too low of cortisol or an RT3 issue. How long on

30 mg and did you ever get temps stable at that dose?

Your symptoms do sound hypo but you want to look at if it is a low cortisol

issue or RT3 issue making you hypo first.

Is your ferritin okay?

After the last 1/4 grain increase they get unstable again.

Hasn't been tested yet and suppose I will next go around.

Maybe I should increase 2.5 HC. not sure what kind of schedule to try.

Thanks for responding

Lynn,

I am remembering fromyour other post correctly that your temps. were stable,

but became unstable when you made your last increase of Armour? How long ago

did you make the increase? What I would think is that your body needs a bit

more HC to handle the increase. You could try 12.5-10-5-5 and see how that

goes. I'm sure Val will also have some ideas.

You might be due for even more of a HC increase if temps are still not

stable. Yes, any illness can make them crash and temps go down, especially

if not stable to begin with. Mine are stable but crash during my period or

when I tried T3.

I made the increase a few weeks ago. Had a headache and a little cold

during that time but have been fine this last week. (thought it was

curious that very low temps recorded during a three day migraine)

Still lots of variation in the temps in the last week. I see the doc

again this week and want to have a bit of a game plan.

thanks Cheri for you assistance

Cherie gave a good recommendation on schedule. I would go at least 2.5

maybe even 5 mg increase.
