Hi Mike. You why are you taking 2 grains when your Doc only prescribed 1?

How does you Doc handle you taking more?

this doesn't work unfortunately. it sounds crazy but docs have to treat the

patient!

I followed the directions from the Armour site. My doc

is very conservative, and is treating by TSH.

Who cares, as long as he feels better! I have always increased on my own

and never got any slack from the doc. Sometimes we have to take incentive

on our own because docs don't really have to live what we do. When you go

in there explain to him that you increased on your own because you were

getting no symptom relief and that you are sure your labs will match up with

your relief!

I do not have any medical evidence to back it up, but I believe that when

you go for a very long time hypo (untreated) the low blood pressure turns to

high. I am convinced my mother who had a pituitary tumor is hypo Despite

all the tests. She has EVERY symptom. Also, she has HBP.

CW...you would be right about that. When hypo goes untreated it makes the

arteries less elastic...this in turn makes it more difficult for the same

volume of blood to circulate. Hence, higher blood pressure. At least that's

how

my doc explained it to me.
