Every Armour increase,my muscles and joints ache more, is this fillers?

[Gillybean1]

Hi All, I am only up to 1 grain of Armour (the gradual advised increase) my temps have increase from 35 to 36.8, and pulse from 60 to 70. Other tests recently posted all agreed i needed to still increase the NDT, but i notice the more i increase, the more aches and pains. I can barely move in the morning, it improves when im up and moving, but its constant ache all over my body.

My question is , is it the fillers? which i gather are corn, in which case i could switch to WP or could it be that since taking the NDT i have been able to eat a little more (chronic malabsorption problems and gut pain) and still being undermedicated digestion still dominates gut issues ?

Anybody else aching with Armour ? Considering 5mcg of T3 in the mornings, for energy, gut, and cooling down issues.

Any thoughts gladly appreciated, every best wish G.

Gillybean,

Did you have the aches and pains when you increased Levothyroxine dose before switching to Armour?

Hi Clutter, Ive never used Levothyroxine, i started meds for the first time with Armour 18mths ago. I was in such a bad way back then, had become house bound with fatigue, unable to eat anything but liquid vit/min drinks plus the occasional liquid food because of gut pain. So as i had TPO antibodies, raised TSH but not high enough for prescribed Levo, i bought Armour 1/4grain because i thought it would be the gentle start as im sensitive to so many things and the most natural. Within 4hours of taking it i could walk across a room, a first in a long time, and so i improved, but have a long long way to go yet.

Regards G.

Giillybean,

Try WP. It has the least amount of fillers of all NDT and is hypoallergenic.

Thank you for your reply Clutter, i have some WP, can i switch over literally one day to the next or do i have to have a break from Armour ? regards G.

[Clutter in reply to Gillybean1]

Gillybean1,

You can switch over straight away.

Every best wish G.
