Hello Thyroid forum.
First of all, thanks for reading this post because this one in particular means a lot to me of all my posts.

For a long, long time, I have suspected I had what I refered to as a slow metabolism. I was previously on a low fat diet with low calories and high sugar.
I had such a low body temperture that just kept getting worse. It was actually in the 94 degree range.

I exercise daily. i did low carb since May, and I was pretty thin except for the fact that I had the problem of not being able to exercise away fat on my hips by doing cardio. that was wierd, since I really only wanted to lose 5 to 8 pounds of fat. I should have been able to lose that considering how I did pilates, yoga, walking for over an hour. Stretching and was forever on Atkins Induction, even decreasing my calories to 1400 per day.

No one suspected me to have hypothyroidism because I was not overweight. It took nearly everything in me to maintain my weight(if I ate 4 pounds of food and it was not low carb, I gained about 3 pounds plus water weight, for example).

I was also tired all the time. Not physically tired like from exercise. But like I was in an exhausted state. I had like 90% of the thyroid problem signs.

So finally, I was tested for reverse T3, and my doctor said I had a metabolic problem. I never took medication before or have been really sick, aside from just struggling along with my thyroid symtoms.

>>>Cutting to the chase...
Can you please tell me what to expect being on the thyroid pill Armour? I ahve taken it two days now, and I do not know what it should be doing. I don't really feel different yet. My basal body temperture is still low. I actually am usually asleep this time now, but I think that my body is adjusting to the medicine so I'm awake. Plus, how do I know it is strong enough. I am on, 60mg (I think it is.)I take it once a day.
Do I start to notice any kind of changes and if I exercise like normal, eating low carb, should I begin to lose the 5 pounds I am trying to lose?
And lastly, does Armour make you thirsty?
I drank a lot of water today, more so than usual, but it could just be the enviornment making me that way in particular.
