Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Ok, before I get carried away with letting my new doc think for me, here's the deal. He gave me a Rx for 1/2gr Armour yesterday and said take the whole thing in the morning. Of course, being a beginner ThyroScout I said, " Shouldn't I take 1/4gr in the AM and 1/4 later in the day? " He said --- --------------------------drum roll, please-------------------------------- " No. Take it all in the morning., for two weeks. In two weeks up it to 1 gr. " But I didn't. (Are you shocked?) I took my Isocort at about 7A or 8A (my eyes don't focus that early) after I took my temp which I later read was ------------actually the drumroll should go here!---------------------------- 98 degrees!!! Then I nibbled a little more than half of the Armour (1/2 gr). We had a nice breakfast, eggs, sausage, berries, herb tea. Ok, too much hot monkey bread with butter, too. A huge glass of salted water. ( see I did read the Adrenal Files! ) Oh, and I forgot to take a Benedryl last night but I'm ok. Not puffy. Not great, ok. OK Voting is now open: o If I were you I'd take the whole thing in the morning o If I were you I'd take 1/4gr in the AM and 1/4 later in the day o Oh, screw-it! If I were you I'd take the whole bottle and ask for another! o I think you're a baby to worry about such an insignificant amount, anyway Thank you for your participation... ....

I would take 1/4 in the Am and 1/4 later in the day. Now it may not make a world of difference YET, but is a fine habit to get into as when you increase your dosage it will become more important. As that morning dose pumps up your metabolism more, you will feel it DROP it in the afternoon when the T3 runs out. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, " You're next. " They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
