Taking Armour Sublingually

[Guest guest]

Val,

I started taking my Armour sublingually this past week because I know

that I have low stomache acid. It seems like I am starting to

experience having too much T3 in my system? Is this normal? My temps

have been going up and down again. I would really like to get off the

IsoCort but am still not sure when to do it? I had begun to decrease

it to 15.0 then 10.0 and now I am feeling hyper?

This is so frusterating I just don't know which way to go!

Discouraged!

Val,

Thanks for the response. I do think I have much more energy and my

vision (I have Grave's) is improving. I am just seeing my pulse

start to rise and I feel a little more on edge. Possibly I should

cut back a quarter grain and see how I feel? Are you taking any HC

or IsoCort?

I've started taking Armour sublingually three days ago and it sure is more

convenient not having to juggle it

around food.

I called the Armour manufacturer to inquire. A staff person said that they do

not recommend taking it that way since they have no " studies " about it's

efficacy sublingually.

I feel that I may be absorbing a bit more since my temps the last 3 days have

gone up to higher 97s. I tried to raise my Armour 15mg two weeks ago and

couldn't tolerate it so going sublingual may be a way to get an increase in.

I don't find it difficult to dissolve, just takes a few minutes. I have a 120mg

pill that I cut in half. Cutting it probably allows quicker dissolving.

Perhaps I have acidic saliva!

,

I am seeing my temps rise too though they do flucuate more during the

day right now. Apparently we are absorbing more by taking it this

way. I went back to taking 5 IsoCort pellets yesterday and it seemed

to help. I may need to add one more because I am finding I am

clenching my jaw more while I sleep...I wear a night guard for teeth

grinding.

You are taking 2.0 grains a day? Do you have a thyroid and what are

your labs? I take 2.25 grains and my labs are right in the middle of

the range. Hopefully this will bring me over the middle enough that

I can stabilize my dose of Armour. My doctor claims I am on one of

the highest doses she has any patient on and she thinks I need to

lower it. I am not in complete agreement. I am a small frame, 127

lb female and should really be around 120 lbs but haven't been able

to drop the extra weight. I am hoping this will help.
