Subject: Armour

Man får fremdeles ikke Armour på blå ressept i Norge (jobber med saken), så i forhold til natrium thyroxin er den dyr!! Prisen også varierer fra apotek til apotek.... alt avhengig av hvor apoteken bestiller Armour fra...Det er også avhengig av hvor stor dose du trenger. Kan opgi senere priser (har det ikke foran meg)

Subject: Armour vs Thyroxin

Jeg er 27 år og har brukt thyroxin natrium siden jeg var 10 år. Det har gått greit, men de siste 2 årene har jeg vært plaget med lite motivasjon/trett/depresjon. Er nå sykemeldt med muskelplager. Jeg tar B12 sprøyter og thyroxin nivået mitt viser normale verdier hos legen. MEN jeg føler meg helt forferdelig. Jeg har sett på forumsiden at noen har prøvd Armour. Jeg er veldig interressert i å prøve dette, men finner ingen info om dette på nettet.

Jeg er veldig nysgjerrig på Armour. Må jeg ta disse semtidig med Thyroxin? Er det noen som har mer informasjon/erfaringer om armour?

Håper noen kan hjelpe meg

Hei!
Info om Armour finner du på www.about.com, søk på thyroid der inne. Eller du kan søke på www.forestpharm.com, det er de som produserer Armour.

Jeg går selv på Armour, men har ikke gjort det så lenge. Bedringen kom dagen etter at jeg begynte, muskelsmerter, tretthet,angst og leddsmerter nærmest forsvant. Samtidig som jeg nå står på Armour, så behandles binyrene, så kroppstemp. er nå oppe i ca.37 jevnt hele dagen.

Etterhvert regner jeg med at jeg må ta en liten dose thyroxin i tillegg, dette fordi T4 taes dårlig opp i tarmen uansett om du spiser Armmour eller thyroxin. Legen din må søke importtillatelse for Armour, men det er en formalitet, den blir godkjent. Dette er også en forholdsvis dyr medisin, du må regne med ca. 300 kr. pr. 100 stk. Trenger du mer info er det bare å maile meg.

Hilsen Merete

Hi. My name is Annette, and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease about 9 years ago when nodules were found on my thyroid. At the time they said that my levels were only slightly low and they wanted to start me out on a very low dose of Synthroid.

Almost from the first tablet I started to experience awful symptoms! Mostly extreme nervousness, heart palpatations, and panicky feelings... also irritable bowel problems. After about a week I cut the low dose in half and the symptoms improved but didn't go away. I finally convinced my doctor that I was having problems with the meds...although I'm not sure he really believed it. He let me go off of the Synthroid but suggested that I get my thyroid levels checked once a year in case it got worse.

Well, at this point I'll admit I haven't had them checked in about 3 years. I'm experiencing an increase in symptoms like icy hands, swelling ankles, sleepiness, PMS, weight gain, etc. The problem is that I am rather terrified that they'll tell me I have no choice but to go back on thyroxin supplements, and frankly, I guess I'd rather live like this than with panic attacks, scary palpatations and irritable bowels! And I don't feel that the doctors take me seriously about the thyroxin causing me problems. It may be unusual, but I don't think that it is "all in my head" as I have never had this sort of difficulty taking other medications. Has anyone had a similar problem or heard of this? Any advice?

Thanks all. Annette

Hi Annette!

I think the symptoms you first described comes from being overdosed ...it's the same I had last summer when I was diagnosed and first put on way to high a dosage. Your values might not have been that far away from your normal level (=what you feel OK at). Your body needs a very slow(!)introduction to thyroid-medications, I think it's common to increase the dosage every 3 week.

The thing with Hashimoto's disease is that it is an auto immune disorder, where your antibodies for some reason attacks its own tissues. The problem is that it keeps getting worse if you don't treat it - your TSH value will keep rising and your T3 and T4 will keep falling, and the symptoms like icy hands, swelling ankles, sleepiness, PMS, weight gain, etc will get worse. You can also risk developing other even worse symptoms (e.g. muscle and joint aches and pain and/or cognition crash), I don't want to scare you, but in the worst case they say it can be life threatening.

I think you need to see your doctor and check out your thyroid-levels. Prepare for starting on the thyroid medications again, but discuss your worries with your doctor and ask him/her to put you on a tiny dose for a start and to rather increase it a bit more often. Be brave

Good luck!
