Insomnia and Flu Like Symptoms from Armour?

[Guest guest]

Can anyone shed some light on this? I started to get flu like symptoms :

achyness, headache, chills, etc., as well as insomnia. I was taking 5 mg of ALA

every 2 to 3 hours. I mix 25 mg in about 6 ounces of water and add 400 mg of

ascorbic acid Vitamin C to it, and drink 5mg every 2 to 3 hours.

I stopped for now. Will resume next Monday after I hopefully figure out what's

going on.

Could it have anything to do with the fact that I started 65 mg of Armour

thyroid a few days ago? I think it may. I think the Armour and 30+ mg of HC

daily might be enough to cause me to get insomnia and palpitations, but the flu

like symptoms I'm not sure.

I think it may have to do with my body chemistry. ALA seems to push me to the

acidic side, and if I'm eating too much acid forming foods (which I've had to do

lately in order to try to get rid of over alkalinity), it's too much acid for

one time and results in insomnia.

To tell you the truth, I'm confused.

The flu like symptoms are what I can't as of yet figure out.
