Took Sythroid, Getting Hyperthyroid Symptoms. Started Taking Armour. Will This Cause Liver Damage?
With the information I have given, do you think the medicine could have done some damage to my liver (or gall bladder or other organ)? My appetite has not fully returned and I have been off Armour for 9 days - could this be due to the Armour that is still left in my system? Also I originally thought the side pain could be intestinal due to some gassiness as well- passing some gas seemsed to relieve the side pain somewhat - could this at all be consistent with having a liver problem? Any other thoughts on this?
Also, I had a reaction to aldomet in the past where it gave me a very low pulse (in the 50's and the shakes).
I was also on progesterone in December because I was trying to conceive.
Thanks for posting your query.
Taking Armour for such a short duration is not likely to cause any liver damage. The loss of appetite and the weight loss needs to be evaluated to detect any other possible cause. You need to rule out Addison's disease and detect your thyroid hormone levels after proper blood tests.
The pain on your side involving the arm seems to be a muscular pain. Taking a mild pain killer like acetaminophen and a hot fomentation is likely to decrease the pain.
You need to see your primary physician who will work with you to determine what's causing the weight loss and the best way to treat the problem. You may need a special diet to prevent further weight loss or to regain lost pounds.
I hope this answers your query.
