Hi everyone,
This conversation started out on the subject of males with Hashimotos, but
then Edward talked about his response to the Wilson's protocol.  I'm a 50
year old female, diagnosed with Hashimotos at age 46.  When I first heard
about the Wilson's protocol, I assumed it was not appropriate for me.  But
now I'm considering it, since I seem to need increasing doses of Armour.
For a while 3.5 grains was working well for me, and I thought I had
stabilized, but now I've had to increase to 4 grains every other day.  My
doctor wants me to add cytomel to the Armour, but I seem to feel a little
hyper when I do that.  In my case the only hyper symptom I'll notice is a
tightness in my jaw and face.

I've ordered the doctors manual for Wilson's through the Wilsons syndrome
website, but am interested in hearing from other folks with Hashimotos who
have tried it.  How long did you stay on the Wilsons?  Did you feel worse
for a while?  Were you able to go back to Armour and maintain at a lower
dose?  Any other positive results?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences with the Wilson's protocol.
Susan A
