Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Dixie, what are your tests results? It helps to see what the dr is testing you for with the latest labs and ranges. If you don't have a copy, get copies of all the blood tests and post them with the ranges the lab uses. That tells a lot about how we're doing. SandyE~Houston hashimoto's Hi, I've been hypothyroid for over a decade but just recently got a diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease. How does Armour work with Hashi's? I took it before and got up to a fairly large dose. I felt somewhat better, but never got any warmer. I haven't taken anything besides OTC stuff for 2 years and I feel as good as I did when I took it. The OTC stuff helps some, but I really want to get up to an optimal temperature range, not to mention get my body back. My adrenals seem to be stressed, too, I've used Dr. Rind's chart to look at that and the highs and lows are pretty obvious. I've got some Armour's I could take, but I've been a little afraid to, because it didn't solve the problem last time and I don't want to stress out my immune system. Help!!!

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 >>She's all concerned about the calcium and such and of course the " inability " to accurately measure how " much " T4 T3 in Armour.<< There si NO calcitonin in ANY synthetic thyroid med as there is in Armour. It and other NATURAL thyroid meds are the ONLY ones that contain this ingredient that helps keep calcium in our bones. Ther is 38mcg T4 and 9mcgT3 in every grin of Armour. This si standardized adn guaranteed by the US Pharmacopeia that inspects and guarantees it's potency. Synthetic T4 has had NUMEROUS problems with potency issues. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 > A friend pointed me to some books she has correlating the occurance of autoimmune disease (hashimoto's) and negative thought patterns (my therapist keeps brining this up and I trust her)< I think the negative thought patterns are from the hashimoto's and not what is causing it. When you get proper treatment for your thyroid and adrenals, the negative thoughts will go away. They have for me. Joann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I would agree with this. Rie A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 It is possible to have Hashimoto's and to not have diabetes. But people with Hashi's very often also have diabetes, as well. " Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a condition caused by inflammation of the thyroid gland. It is an autoimmune disease, which means that the body inappropriately attacks the thyroid gland--as if it was foreign tissue. The underlying cause of the autoimmune process still is unknown. Hashimoto's thyroiditis tends to occur in families, and is associated with a clustering of other autoimmune conditions such as Type 1 diabetes, and celiac disease.
