I began self treating with armour last Thursday, so I am now on day eight taking half a grain first thing and half a grain just after dinner. Not sure about definite positives but nothing bad as yet.
I have had a few days feeling warmer BUT we have had about five days of very warm weather and i still wore jackets over long sleeve tops to feel ok when others were just wearing a tee shirt or such like.
Yesterday i felt poitively warm at work, this is very rare unless i am having a 'flush moment' and they are always brief in nature. Anyway I stayed warm right through until mid evening when i cooled down somewhat. I am mid cycle , so wondered if this could be linked, however I cannot think of any days over last few months or further back when this has been the case before, yes hot flashes, but not hot days.
This morning I awoke at 4.10 am Eurghhhhh, with a twinging pain on the right hand side of my groin area, I took my temp unaware of what the time was and it read 36.5 . This is pretty rare for me , I was randomly taking basal temps last month and saw one at this temp, but wasnt keeping a record, however the last few weeks pre armour I began noting the temps , they are always 36.2 and 36.3 without fail which made me realise that I must be ovulating. Then It dawned on me that the groin pain reflected this. Years ago I used to get one sided groin pain some months around ovulation, but have not experienced this for quite some time. I am peri menopausal so didn't think anything of this (my mother and her mother went through early menopause and I am following suit) However my mother has a thyroid condition too so I am not sure which condition aggravates the other.
So I am now wondering, does NDT affect ovulation etc, the fact I was warm yesterday, raised temp and groin twinges? Never plotted my temp prior to this but I did have a 36.5 before which leads me to believe this was already happening prior to armour, but the twinges and 'warm day' are definitely new. The only side affect that made me wonder if I was still ovulating before were very painfull breasts about a week or so before period.
Other than this I have been a bit less itchy, not sure if this is a fluke because my itchiness came in bouts and this could just be a reprieve time anyway, will soon see no doubt.
Still exhausted upon waking BUT once Ive dragged myself out of bed and showered I am a little better between ten and five, tiredness creeps back mid evening, but this is better.
Skin still dry and other linked ailments no real visible change but think these take time, but will be keeping close watch and reporting back.
Question is, is eight days enough to be seeing mild improvement or is this just the placebo effect. Also should I up the dose say by half grain or wait and see..... decisions decisions!
but generally fatigue and itching are getting better, once I'm actually up I feel less tired through the day, not right but definitely an improvement 
Told to lower armour dose
Has anyone who is taking armour suffer from headaches. 
Temperature drops on NDT
How soon can I increase Armour dosage?
Switching from T4 to Armour
