Feeling better and managed to increase Armour

Mouse profile image
2 Replies

I haven't been able to increase my Armour to more than 1/4 grain on alternate days without feeling very ill. My ferritin levels were 30 which is within range but low. I had been taking Spatone but now I am taking a liquid iron supplement and I am feeling so much better.

Also I am now taking 1/4 grain for 2 days then Nutri Thyroid for the 3rd and repeating this. Next I am going to try Armour every day.

I have an appointment with Dr P on the 15th as well so I am feeling very positive.
