I'm really glad it's been helping you, that's terrific news <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm haven't been too lucky myself . . . not yet, at least. I took 2 quarter-grain doses the day after my Armour arrived, and the next day I was tearful and wishing I was dead. This may be due to other factors as well, such as my ongoing battle with sugar, and it may also mean my adrenals couldn't cope, but I thought it wise to take no further risks and wait until I've seen Dr. Peatfield before I touch any Armour again.

I've tried acupuncture.acupressure.Chinese herbs and various sessions of reiki and meditation. Not much help. I was at least able to get a blood test for T3 and T4 thyroid just before I tried the Armour, and those results should be in next week. I've also sent away to a UK lab for some saliva testing kit; I've been hoping to get my female hormones and cortisol tested before I see Dr. Peatfield. Could be running out of time for that now.

At the moment I can't go more than a couple of days without sugar or I feel terrible. This has happened every winter since I got ill. In the summer I don't feel the need to touch it. I'm really frustrated and fed up to be honest, but this is a good place to be for support and I know I'm not alone with my searching, so if others here keep plugging away so will I. I just wish it felt like the chelation was making a difference. I am doing it non-stop but never feel any better. It's been 7 months.

Anyway, I guess that's enough self-pity for one day. It cheers me up to hear about someone who is doing well, thanks for letting me know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
