INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Narrow-minded people tend to want to stay on one course of action. They are usually resistant to new and innovative methods.  Narrow-minded people may resist change or dislike things that conflict with their worldview. A narrow-minded friend, for example, may be averse to going to new restaurants in town. A narrow-minded colleague may be resistant to changes to your company's policies. While many people do not cope well with change, narrow-minded people may see change as inherently negative. A narrow-minded person may be unable to differentiate between different and negative. Narrow-minded people may be very opinionated about those around them. A narrow-minded person may be quick to judge others. They may also make negative comments frequently.  A narrow-minded person make quick and absolute judgments about others. He or she will lack the ability to see the complexity in human behavior. For example, you have a friend who struggles with her weight. When that friend is not around, a narrow-minded person may say something like, "I think the reason June can't lose weight is a lack of willpower." A narrow-minded person is unable to see how weight loss is complicated and will simply judge someone. Narrow-minded people may have a tendency to believe the worst in others. A narrow-minded person may say something like, "I feel like Kate was late to the movie last week to punish me for bailing on plans Saturday." Rather than accept people are just late sometimes, the narrow-minded person assumes malicious intent. Narrow-minded people are often eager to take sides. They are also eager for those around them to take sides. A narrow-minded person is likely to escalate conflict in most situations.  For example, two colleagues get into a dispute at work. The narrow-minded colleague may be quick to anger. He or she may approach you to talk negatively about the other party. Narrow-minded people cannot fathom differences. A narrow-minded person may be incredulous if you do not take his or her side in a conflict. Even if you don't know the details of the conflict, a narrow-minded person may say things like, "But you know what Jamie did was wrong, right? How can you not understand that's wrong?" People who are empathetic and curious take a genuine interest in those around them. Curious people may become less judgmental as they get to know multiple viewpoints. A narrow-minded person, conversely, may lack this curiosity.  Narrow-minded people may not be interested in the opinions of others. They may be convinced they have things figured out, and may scorn input from those around them. A narrow-minded person may not, say, ask you about your day. If you talk about politics with a narrow-minded person, he or she is more likely to argue than ask you why you feel the way you do.

SUMMARY: Consider how open a person is to change. Notice how this person talks about others. See how this person handles conflict. Evaluate whether this person shows an interest in others.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Armour thyroid is an animal-source thyroid replacement used in the treatment of hypothyroidism. It’s used as hormone replacement therapy for people with hypothyroidism. It is also used to reduce the size of goiters and to treat thyroid cancer.  It is a natural mix of pig-derived thyroid hormones. It is measured as grains, and the doses range from ¼ grain to five grains. It is an alternative to synthetic, man-made thyroid hormone replacement. The symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, dry, coarse hair, hair loss, dry skin, wanting to sleep often, intolerance to cold, decreased heart rate, swelling of the thyroid gland (goiter), unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, constipation, and depression. Since Armour thyroid is prescribed for hypothyroidism or associated conditions, you must go to your doctor. Hypothyroidism is diagnosed by symptoms and lab tests. Your doctor will perform a physical exam to check your thyroid. Your doctor will also take a medical history and have you provide a list of symptoms.  Your doctor will also do lab tests, checking things like your thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). If your doctor believes you have need to undergo thyroid treatment, your doctor will discuss your options with you. If your doctor believes you need Armour thyroid, you will be started on the lowest dose, which is ¼ grain. You will be required to go back to the doctor in one to two months. The TSH levels will be remeasured every four to six weeks. Your doctor will look at your TSH levels and adjust the dosage of Armour thyroid so that the TSH values fall within a range between 0.5 and 4.0 mIU/L. Since the TSH level range is rather wide, you will need to keep track of your symptoms during the first few months of taking Armour thyroid. Keep aware of how you are feeling so you can talk to your doctor.  Some people don’t feel well unless their TSH levels go below 1.0. Others feel much better with higher TSH levels. TSH levels can be very individualized, so your doctor will work with you to find the proper dosage. Keep up with any fatigue or wanting to sleep more, changes in your hair, dry skin, sensitivity to cold, swelling of the throat, unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, constipation, and feelings of depression. Once your personal optimal dose of Armour thyroid is achieved, you will likely stay on this dosage level for life. This helps keep your TSH levels at the appropriate place. You should, however, be aware that the dosage required can change. This can happen because of disease, stress, menopause, injury, or trauma. Make certain you talk to your doctor about the level of Armour you take if you experience any of these events. For most people, taking their dose of Armour in the morning one hour before eating works best. However, some people do better taking Armour and any other thyroid HRT in the evening. The only way to know is to try Armour at different times. Talk to your physician about the best way to do this to avoid any unpleasant side effects or other problems.

SUMMARY:
Take Armour thyroid for hypothyroidism. Go to your doctor. Reevaluate your TSH levels every few weeks. Keep track of your symptoms. Take Armour thyroid indefinitely. Determine the best time of day to take your medicine.
