Iav decided to thry te metavive bovine 80mcg instead of thryogold as easier to purchase and abit cheaper instead of Armour NDT but has anyone tried it and had any after affectives to it?

switched from 1.5 grains of Armour a couple of days ago, not much to report other than I av felt more hot and flushing and my skin feels more smooth and greasy like it would if I was hyper,also my heart I have noticed goes a bit funny started roaund 8-10pm like heavy, tight chest bit of chest pain, palpations, keeps me awake etc I have had it before on other thyroid meds like t3 only and was wondering why it caused these symptoms around that time it's usually when I am severaly exhausted so thought maybe to do with adrenals. I have bought a herbal tincture for adrenals to go alongside the bovine but not sure I will tolerate it yet any advice helpful?

I have taken both Metavive1 and Metavive2 and had no side effects. Having taken both I would say the porcine ones are 'stronger' than the bovine ones.

Thanks how long would you say you need to leave to have a blood test to see how effective they are ? What dose of porcine once where you taking and what are you taking now is it more successful?
