Splitting Armour/First Day

June 13, 2003

I posted a couple of days ago. I had RAI for Grave's in 95 and now on

Armour. I had been on it once a day but I am going to try the

following.

Today is my first day splitting my armour dose into taking it twice a

day.I am on 120 or 2 grains of armour once a day before.

I took my first half 60 at 9am.What time should I take my second

half? I am scared if I take it to soon after my 9 am dose that the T3

from 9am will combine with the T3 from my second dose and make me

feel hyper if I do not time it right. I was thinking about taking my

second dose around 5:30 pm? Is there any thing I should be on the

lookout for as far as symptoms.Will taking this way since I was

regulated on 120 before make any negative difference in how I feel.

I am going to take the second dose and wait one hour and eat supper,

is this ok long enough to wait? Also, if I want to drink a glass of

water or something before my second dose (not eat just drink) how

long should I wait to take my second dose? Will a glass of water be

out of my stomach and not effect my second dose absorption

after an hour?

Thanks

Hi HD-

What you're planning to do sounds fine. The only thing you have to look out

for is that, initially, you'll probably start having hypo symptoms for a

while until your body adjusts to your new dosing schedule. This will take 3

mos. at the most but it's better for you overall because your body won't be

on as much of a rollercoaster due to T3s short 1/2 life. The body uses it

up quickly so you were probably way up for a while then way down. Now

you'll still have the ups and downs but they won't be as pronounced. Good

luck!

Take care,
