Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hi you wonderful you's... I've been Armour since February 1st..I'm up to 1.15 grains.. I'm feeling somewhat better.. but my hands are still cold. They didn't used to be cold and started when I started having Thyroid problems. Is this a symptom of needing to up my dosage? It will be 2 weeks on this dose as of this coming Monday. Would another 15mg be appropriate? Do I just keep raising the dosage every 2 weeks until I feel symptom free? thanks so much !

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 , Is there any rule of thumb regarding whether one should raise every 2 weeks or every 3 weeks? How would I know which I should do? Are there symptoms to look for or is it personal preference? thank you, Robin Re: cold hands Raise every 2 to 3 weeks by 15 MG till either symptom free or you get to 3 grains then slow those increases down to every 5-6 weeks. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat?

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Watch for any anxiety, nervousness, or shaky hands. If you experience any of these, and sooner or later you will with an increase, just hold that increase for a while, unless it is real uncomfortable then reduce it. I used to get heart pounding and a little shaky with every increase, but within a week it would go away. It is just a sign for me anyway that my body needed time to adjust. Some folks will need adrenal support along the way but that would be alot more drastic symptoms and you will know something isn't right. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?
