Hello Everyone:
I am a newbie. I began taking Armour Thyroid last week, I am currently on ½ grain but I am slowly increasing. I have noted one thing though, I am gaining a lot of water weight, cannot be due to food because my diet is rather clean and my appetite fairly low now. I do eat something every hour and try to maintain around 70-100 grams of protein.
Has this happened to you? I looked though Ray Peat’s articles, but did not see anything regarding initial weight gain. I do feel better, my hypoglycemia is improving, no more blues, zero anxiety but I do want the weight off. J
Also, after my Armour dose, I notice I get more cold. I think my system was running on cortisol and adrenaline for many years masking the hypo symptoms (my doc knew I was hypo after a simple physical exam, without even looking at the blood work).
I would truly appreciate any feedback.
Thank you-
