Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 , you need to get the right amount of Armour with testosterone (NOT synthetic) to feel well. Armour works with other hormones. You might need adrenal support as Celeste suggests. 1) why doesn't your doctor have a clue about the endocrine system? 2) why aren't you understanding? You cannot take a drug for every symptom, you have to treat the whole system. Armour is not too strong, you simply need other things with it. I suspect you have been hypo your whole life.

The only thing that stopped the itching was Steroids 30 mg a day, this of course I cannot take for the rest of my life. > > > I have been told I am short of Magnesium but that did not work > Armour was too strong.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hi sheila I am wondering if you misunderstood my message. I have reduced the Armour down to 1 grain from 3 which I used to take all in one go at night. Yesterday my palpitations were worse in the evening even though I hadn't taken any Armour since bedtime the day before. apart from that I am feeling much better, which made me think that I was perhaps absorbing the Armour better by taking it with orange juice. My ferritin is good at 86 last check, I take B12 1000mg daily for a level 4 months ago of 306, I do not have candida. I have emailed my endo but he is refusing to prescribe anything further until he has seen me, so I seem to be stuck at the moment. It's just frightening when I keep getting these missed beats and for that reason I am reluctant to increse the dose. do you think I am getting them because I have not got enough thyroid hormone? It is very confusing. I feel sure now that the T4 made my joint pains worse as they are much better. Love lizzie > > Hi Lizzie, Are you taking your Armour in split doses Lizzie - if not, you > SHOULD be. For some people, taking it all in one dose is OK, but for most of > us, because the T3 in Armour peaks in the blood a couple of hours after you > have taken it, it cause palpitations. I always take mine in split doses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
