Has armour thyroid changed? :(

Twice in the past month I've had neurological trouble, which I've only ever had pre Armour. Anybody notice symptoms returning?

Hi

I have only been on armour since before Christmas but I have noticed my symptoms returning (aches and pains & fatigue) in the last month and I am on my second batch of armour. The first batch was prescribed which I obtained from uk, Tollesbury and the second batch I ordered from America. It's since using the second batch I have symptoms, although blood tests are out of wack slightly. T4 is out of range although I understand this can be the case on armour and many feel ok with this.

Are you under medicated perhaps? x

When you say your results are out of whack can you be more specific x?

Hi

My t4 has dropped to 11 (12 - 22) which could explain symptoms although t4 does lower when on armour x

How is your B12? Neurological problems can come from low B12 - anything Under 500.

I've been noticing tiredness creep back although my doc wanted. E to halve my dose to 1 grain as he tested me on day Id taken meds and my T3 was 6.9. I was expecting a dose increase due to feeling a bit tired again. I'm beside myself as I tried cutting to 1.5 but got ectopic heartbeat and anxiety creeping back. I've tried 1 and 3/4 this morning to see how that sits.

I once had blood tests having taken Armour that day and my T3 was over 12 whereas normally ran about 5ish. Endo wanted me to cut back drastically but I didn't and a later test was ok. I didn't realise how much of an impact it had so would really have another test before altering meds if you were ok on the previous dose.

Oh thanks for that it's made me feel a lot better. I keep saying id surely know if I was overmedicated. I slept for 11.5 hours last night! I've slept so well since being on armour x
