Armour and testing thyroid function

[Guest guest]

New doc recently told me that my low Free T4 at 80 (range 82 to 180) was

nothing to worry about because I take Armour. She indicated that because my

TSH was .6600 , I was fine and didn't need any further meds. She didn't

test my Free T3 elaborating that neither frees mean anything because Armour

has T3 in the preparation.

I have never heard this before, and I certainly don't agree - what with

mounds of hair falling and fatigue, very dry skin and body pain all being

part of my complaint.

today, a week after I saw the doc I got a single paper in the mail, which

read at the bottom page 6 of 12, (evidently a medical source of some sort?)

- no title or web addy on top, which cited this very same info - that the

frees mean nothing on Armour.

Is this real or crap?
