Armour experience

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

ANYTHING to stop talking about doctor folly, right guys? Oh well,

I guess its important to figure out....but if you want a break...

 

I am writing seeking experiences with Armour---I've written about this

before, but this time I am specifically hoping to hear from people who

have been on Armour. About a year ago I took a homeopathic remedy and

became remarkably cold within an hour, and was soon diagnosed with

Hashimoto's hypothyroid. I know that seems hard to believe, but its

true (in my opinion all good things come with potential risks though,

so I'm not surprised). Anyway, since then I have tried to manage it

with Chinese herbs. Most of the time things have seemed manageable

(and, by the way, kidney yang tonics did NOT work...herbs like sheng

jiang, bai bu, xing ren, and su zi were what worked---but balancing my

yin xu with those herbs is very, very tricky), but now that its

December I am freezing cold again. Since I am hoping to get pregnant

sometime soon I am thinking I better throw in the towel and take the

thyroid medication. But the question is, which to take? Synthetic or

Armour? There are believable arguments on both sides, but who should

I listen to? Any experience anyone?

 

The other question I have is this: I know that they slowly build up

the medication while your thyroid slowly shuts down. I tried Armour

briefly last year and I was so cold I couldn't stand it. So starting

in December sounds like torture, but since I am hoping to get pregnant

soon I am anxious to get started. How long does it take to get to a

point where you are no longer wanting to crawl inside your kitchen oven?

 

Thanks a bunch for any and all replies. Feel free to write to me

Thanks,
