Not feeling better???

jjkrhbb · 11-10-2008, 01:58 PM

Been about two months and I am on Armour 60mg. I take it in the morning when i wake up. Same time everyday.

I am still fatigued and COLD!! Hair still falling out.

Body temps in low 97s.

I am now in TTC mode and would love to get this all straightened out. My doc had mentioned last time I saw her that we could supplement some T4 with the Armour. Is this what I need, do you think? I just want to feel better.

Oh and just a wonderful bonus, NOT...I am gaining weight like crazy. I have gained a total of 30 pounds in the last four months.

Help!! Thank you.

60mg? That's just one grain right??

I don't know what your lab work looked liked, but *most* women I know on Armour, need somewhere around 3 grains to be optimized. Obviously that amount would vary greatly by individual but one grain seems rather low to me. Have you had any lab work recently that has shown improvement in your numbers??

I haven't had any recent labwork since starting Armour. I should be going in this week, however, hubby was laid off and has been for months. I have no way to pay for the labs. My insurance company covers practically nothing. So I am kind of stuck. I have also gained even more weight. I am nearing my all time high. This is just really crappy. Ya know??? Just tired of dealing sometimes with this stuff. Ok that's my little rant. Is there anything else I can do, cheaply, to help my situation?
