salt

Since iv been on armour I have a constant salty taste in my mouth , when I lick my lips I taste salt. Its not my imajination , I got someone to lick my lip and they agreed to the saltyness. I carnt see this going and was wondering if there's something to combat it , is it real salt , and isn't too much salt bad for me.  If its not the armour what is it. Thanks in advance

Hey ourmarnie. I had pacific beach sand therapy last week. Good for the feet and the soul! lol!
For Plantar faciitis:
Prolotherapy a few injections but not too spread apart, Sombro  natural analgesic,containing capsaicin, aloe vera and herbs.
Stretching, massage and icing help as well.

For getting a script for Armour do a search for "thyroid UK" and contact them for a thyroid friendly doctor open & willing  to help you.

They are a Non-profit organisation campaigning for and providing information including support to those with thyroid or related diseases, in the UK.

Should you have any difficulties, let me know, I'm sure I'll come up with something else.

Most doctors are a funny breed. Now you see why I steered clear from that
direction. With my philosophy, I would have been toasted and roasted
and de-licenced within my first week of this B.S, but not before giving them a BIG piece of my mind. (Does this make any sense in english?)

And yes, I'm just fine and dandy and I wish I could send you some of this , but my thoughts, prayers and love, will have to suffice for now!
Cheers!
Niko

PS. You are very rich, you just don't know it, or you're so humble, you don't admit it. And it has very little to do with property and money. I know it!

Hi niko , I hope You are fine and dandy. Just to update you on my latest problem , which I saw coming , and now I know that the doctor who reffered me to the armour doctor , won't prescribe me armour on NHS.  In brackets below are the notes I showed him in my defence , which he just glanced at.    “Armour is unlicenced because its been around since 1800s, and it works. It was around befor BNF. There's no need for it to be licenced due to proven efficency and lack of harm.                                                                            Thyroxine had reaply and reaply for licence and is unsafe. Armour is a legal medication allowed MHRA ”. I had photo copy of NHS prescription for armour given to me by endo to show my GP should I meet with reluctence , glad I forgot to take it , he was adament. I asked him would he ask the rest of his coleagues at practice if they Would be willing to prescribe  armour , like before I can see a big fat no waiting for me. So I would then have to find a practice That would oblige me , and how do I put out an apb for such a doctor and local practice ? Apart from all the symtoms of hypohashi I have baaaaaad plantar faciitis and walk round like geisha girl , I'm being hounded by the government to find work which I would love to do , but for my feet. My benefit is being cut left right and centre and I'm to fund my own quality of life. If anyone is familiar with the english law , can they tell me why a law breaking smackhead is provided with daily doses of methadone for pure pleasure and I carnt get true life medication ? What's so spesh about smakos , do I have a case and who do I take it up with ? I'm on the last week of the third increase of armour. In the fourth bottle is six weeks of increased armour , what do I do when they run out ?  I may be poor but my successfull children sort me when needed so paying for meds isn't a problem , but why should they have to.  By the way , my GP confirmed the change in my physical appearence since being on armour and accepted before and after pictures as miraculouse. Once again , forgive my bad spellings ,  blame it on the thyroid. Ha. Nikohhhhhhhhhh. Helllllllllp.

Hey ourmarnie.
Your lips, tequila and lime. Hmm!
Just joking! Fresh back from Mexico, I couldn't help it!
In all seriousness though, it could be related to the fact that in hypothyroid, the body stores salt. Now that you're on armour it's getting released.
That's one possibility. See what others say.
Too much saltiness, temporary, would have little to do with "bad",
unless you consume salt excessively. At any rate, avoid processed and salty foods.
If you must add salt, use raw unrefined sea salt , but be stingy! lol!
We'll be in touch later sweetie.
Best wishes.
Niko
