Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 You need more Armour, try increasing slow like 1/2 grain a week. Find a new doc in the meantime. Try increasing to at least another grain before your next apt. If you notice any hyper symptoms then back off by a half of grain. Try finding a new doc who can get you in in the next 4 weeks. CW -- TSH hit 11.82 I am on 1.5 grains of Armour per day and my TSH is now 11.82...do I need more? I have noticed a return of dry finger tips, dry eyes and restless or more crampy feeling lower legs. It is hard to stand from a bent down position, say to bend down and get something from a cabinet. ly, I feel like the energy and joint resilience is not what it should be. My doctor is a deer in the headlights about Armour so what can I do? le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 When I was taking thyroid and I didn't feel well, I divided some of the pills in half and took an extra half grain. Then I told my doctor afterwards. It seems to me that your TSH is terribly high, and that you need more.
