Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hi Molly. Don't feel bad--we've all been there before--when we felt great, then BAMM...something new we had to figure out. And you will! Am I understanding correctly that you are at 3 1/2 grains? Have you done labs recently, and if so, what was your free T3? How about your Ferritin--low Ferritin can cause the exact same symptoms. What about female hormones?? Are you peri-meno, perhaps, which can cause similar symptoms? How long has the feel-bads been occuring? Did they start when the cold started, and when was that? Give us more details about when it all started. A final area to explore are your adrenals. Have you tried the pupil test mentioned in the ADRENALS folder? Do you have any problems sleeping at night? Janie > on my Armour and now, I'm feeling like I did last year this time > w/out Armour!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 If you add a 1/2 grain more and it's too much, all you have to do is back down for a day back to the last dosage. Most times when I increase, I may have a few hyper symptoms, but it calms down soon enough. I've just found that a new dosage sometimes takes 2 or 3 days for me to feel if it's optimal or not. I goofed quite a few months ago and took 9 1/2 grains one day by complete accident (bought 3 grain pills and was only used to 1 grain pills), and I felt better the next day, and even better the third day. I restarted where I should have been and all was fine. I did feel awful though that day I miscounted how much I was taking. lol. SandyE~Houston What's wrong w/ me? I was feeling so good and bragging on my Armour and now, I'm feeling like I did last year this time w/out Armour! I'm up to 210 mg. but I'm scared to move up because I think I read that when I get to 3 grains, I need to wait 4-5 weeks before increasing. Is that right? I felt awful! I have had a head cold but it's gone now. I ache, am tired, have a headache, no energy and just feel bad. I was feeling so good and now..... HELP!!
