6 week on compounded Armour 200 (3.3) gr. Update

6 weeks now on the 200 Armour compounded. update on symtoms. energy is much better now. getting close to normal now. sleeping well.  i've returned to work. i do pretty heavy physical work. been very sore and joints hurting. not sure if its from the work or still from adjusting to the thryoid levels.  some slight feelings of enregy in the morning when i wake up. very slight. hopefully fades away its not that bad.  no anxiety, no heart paps,  hopefully now i get back to feeling good.  lost 2 pounds,  will retest levels in January. I feel this is right level or at least very close to it now. Hopefully the aches /joint  pain get better as i get back in shape /back to my old routine. and i'll be very close to 100 percent.  keeping positive// no negatives. Kevin

GREAT NEWS! Finally back to work too!

This thyroid stuff sometimes take a bit to tweek as you found out.

The joint pain takes the longest to go away when thyroid levels are stabilized.

Stay on the magnesium and  add in fish oil. That may help alot to speed the pain the go away,.

What did you switch from? I am on Synthroid/Cytomel and want to switch to compounded. Why did you switch? I still have many hypo symptoms even though TSH is normal.
