Armour Thyroid; symptoms

janny108 · 01-12-2009, 01:36 PM

Yesterday I went to church, shopping, laundry(I have to walk and go downstair). I felt fine since I started it 6 days ago, but in the middle of the night it was like I was unbalanced and could not walk straight. I think I slept on my right side, I feel like part of it is asleep. I ate sugar yesterday and my sleep is being interfered with. Is there an Armour community or faq page?
I am taking 1 grain.

I had the exact same balance issues you described when I was hyperthyroid for years (had to suppress my TSH to 0.1 or below for thyroid cancer treatment). I doubt it's the Armour brand itself but rather your body adjusting to having a higher quantity of thyroid hormones in its system.

Six days of being on it is too soon to accurately check its impact with a TSH test, but definitely consult your doctor.
