Armour Troubleshooting & New Supplements
Posted on: June 8, 2006 | Posted in: My Story
Well, I’ve been on the higher dose of Armour for a bit now, and there’s no sign of my morning drowsiness going away. So, prompted by a comment from “Newbie” in another post, I’m going to try a little experiment. Thus far, I have taken half my Armour dose at 9am and the other half at 9pm, figuring that schedule would give the most stable T3 levels throughout the day. And I have yet to come close to the morning “get up and go” I had on levothyroxin. Which is a bummer. I feel better mentally, but I haven’t gotten out of bed before 9am in weeks, and it’s just not working.
So, starting tonight, I’m going to take my second dose when I go to bed (generally around midnight). We’ll see if that helps. Stay tuned for results. Hopefully, T3 being so fast acting, I’ll have a pretty good idea of whether it’s making a difference within a few days.
I’m also ordering a new natural “thyroid support” supplement, and will be posting whether it makes a noticeable difference as well. I figure if I order the Thyromine now, it should take long enough to get here that I’ll have a decent chance to see if the change in medication scheduling has helped or not.
