Hi all
Iv had hypothyroidism for 10 years and i was prescribed 100mg levo i have gained 4st and only 5ft its too much weight to bare im sleepy all day awake all night cry all the time im agrophobic i have anxiety attacks iv begged my gp for help he just offers me Prozac which obviously I refuse to take my blood tests never check my Ft3 levels or vit levels so i am going to get a private check iv told my gp im stopping my levo as I'm obviously not converting he doesn't agree but hey ho they never do. Iv bought "Armour " as iv heard its the best i asked him how much to take he advised me on that but advised levo is the best . Rubbish . In my opinion. I take 2x 30mg 1/2 grain armour tabs they each contain 19mcg T4 and 4.5mcg liothyonine (t3) i also take magnesium omega 3 coconut oil capsule vit B12 and Vit D3 my question is about the dose of the armour is it enough ? Iv been taking it for 2 weeks i have noticed a definite increase in my energy levels but im still not at my peak . I buy my armour from an American pharmacy and I live in the UK any advice would be welcome . Thanks in advance
Sorry to hear how you have been treated,I too have started Armour 3 months ago after decades on Levo
Ordered private bloods but cant find nurse yet to take blood I on the Wirral UK ,I do feel better I take 1 and a half grain but need blood test to see whats what .You will receive lots of good info here ,iI still getting mt head round it all ,
Thankyou so much for your reply iv just increased it to 3 a day i take it first thing with a pint of water and I can honestly say im amazed at the way i feel already . My joints are not so painful and my migraines have practically gone and I feel more energetic . I'm definitely going to stay on Armour though I admit im struggling with the cost of £122 a month with shipping and customs cost . Gp wont prescribe it unfortunately. 😏
