Re: question: regarding previous info , cant over-do armour

I believe you can over-do any thyroid medication. Anything with T3 in

it is especially potent. I am definitely taking my time with this.

My doctor wants me to be on a stable dose for 6 weeks before taking

another blood test. I think I can understand this simply from the

changes I felt from increasing from 1.5g to 2.0g. It definitely makes

me slightly hyper, but it seems like I adjust after awhile. We'll

see, I'm just on my third week.

I would suggest slowing down. I am going for 1/4-1/2 grain every

couple of weeks. You don't want to go into your doctor and freak him

out with a rapid heart beat, high blood pressure, and possibly thyroid

panel numbers that make him think you're taking too much. Give the

old body a bit of time to adjust to it slowly.

I also had RAI 20 years ago. Did they sell you the notion that RAI

was a piece of cake and all you have to do is take one simple pill

everyday and you're perfectly normal? I wish the internet had been

around back then!

They're still selling that - it's exactly what they told me in 2002,

and I didn't research enough because my doctor told me not to

believe anything I read on the internet. And I was too timid to

fight back then....
