I started taking armour half a grain two weeks ago and then increased it to one grain daily but have found that after a few days I get a headache, is this something that others have experienced ?

thanks sporty333 and redditch for your replys, glad to hear that others have experienced headaches. I do get migraines but these headaches feel different. I will perservere because I also feel happier on Armour and if as you say they will level out it is worth a few headaches.

ooh no... I love my armour.. adore it.. no side effects at all, unless you count feeling FABULOUS.. but I did get headaches on Levo and T3.. weird... we're all different

also.. remember headaches are a symptom of lots of other things... could be the weather!
