Yes. Unless you are euphoric or manic you want armour. You can see the discussion of how the two affect thyroid hormone metabolism in my book Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment on about page 117 (the book is described at http://hometown.aol.com/noamalgam) or you can find it in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine a couple of years ago (with me as author) if you can find a library near you that has it. Basically, using levothyroxine makes the endocrinologists happy they have another sacrificial victim for the AMA religion, but it does not result in physiologically normal levels of triiodothyronine, which are important for your cognitive symptoms.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Thanks Andy, I seem to remember being euphoric years ago for about 5 minutes or so. Armour is where I will start.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 No. But someone who is hypothyroid may have low blood pressure, low pulse, low heart rate.... your body is sort of running slow..... the main way of telling if you are hypo...is your body temp. For women you should test first thing in the morning 4 days after menstruation has begun. If it is below 36.5, then you could be hypothyroid.
