Greg and List Members, You wrote: "Unless the gland is all gone-- it's better to leave the pituitary do its control through the loop. I used to take T3 and I do it once in the morning only. The half life is something like hrs. and this fits more to our daily rhythm." I appreciate the information, and would like my pituitary to do the regulating, with my remaining endogenous function, to be sure. Are you suggesting, then, that I take 60 mg. Armour all at once in the morning? (See the above quote, the half life is something like How many hours? I think the numerical value did not come through.) Your remarks on insulin resistance ring true. In my maternal grandmother's family, there was a strong familial tendency to Diabetes type 2, insulin dependent in later life. And with Polyglandular Syndrome type II, I also must be watched for Diabetes Type I, autoimmune destruction of the cells. I have just had glucose tolerance test done, to help rule out even very early glucose problem. Happily that turned out negative, very good response. (however, I did suddenly feel sweats and very dizzy, probably as the blood sugar dropped about an hour later, perhaps that is the reason?) I miss Skipper too, you are right, he would be all over this Armour dosing question. thank you Holly _______________________________________________________________ If you "Reply" to a message, and *you* fail to erase or delete the previous message, *your* message may not be distributed.
