Armour

I was tired all the time.  My thyroid levels were off.  I was on synthyroid for years.  My dr switched me to Armour in July.  I was feeling great until late November.  I have head pressure that does not go away.  I also have burning in my arms, legs, face.  Around my upper lip is the worst.  Can it be the meds?  Or, so I have MS or some other problem.  I had an MRI and it came back fine.  I feel like my drs do not believe me.  I want to feel better! Any suggestions?

Do you have labs from when you felt good to compare with labs now when you dont feel good?

If so post them for interpretation.

Just curious, did you change from Armour to a different brand? If so, the compound mixture may be causing a low level allergic reaction. To test this, you could try 25-50 mg of Benedryl (diphenhydramine) and if it relieves the symptoms, then you have a histamine response (allergic reaction) occurring...~MM
