Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I was on thyroid also when I had Fibro.I was taking 2 gr Armour and labs showed this was sufficient. Labs can be so misleading with thyroid especially if you have mercury issues. When I increased to 6 gr the pain subsided.The increase was done because of low body temp. If you are on synthroid it is possible that your body is not converting this T4 to T3 which is the active form of thyroid hormone. This is a very common problem.Also you could have cellular resistance.Dr Lowe addresses this. Chantal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
