"I notice that I can't cope with the AS pain as well when my thyroid is out of whack and my pain seems more unbearable."

Hi Trudi, was discussing how much benefit I believe I have received from AS symptoms as a result of taking Armour Thyroid (old formulation) with my son, and he mentioned that perhaps they use DE (Diatamecous earth) (sp) as a filler which happens to be a PH Buffer................ it could be an important factor. We know that thyroid hormone affects every cell in the body, "what if" the armour is taking this PH buffer into those cells...........hmmmm

I am trying to get my head around starting a specific thread regarding Armour Thyroid and AS as I am pondering the possibility of how many AS sufferers may also be untreated and/or under-treated thyroid sufferers.

Especially with the TSH Thyroid blood test (range) being 'rubbish' leaving so many undiagnosed........

I have so much going thru my head at the moment, but will put something together when I am thinking clearer.

It was the new formula Armour that exposed the AS when the symptoms 'EXPLODED' and compounded armour has tamed those same extreme symptoms within 2 days of taking it. I have also had a LSD for years, which I believe helps.

Also interesting is that I take armour at night after experiments by thyroid patients got good results, now being recommended by some Endos and many get a deeper sleep, better absorption - and would you believe you dream for the first few days when you take armour at night - now doesnt that sound familiar......
Pondering......... pondering............
