Re: Rings under eyes & not tolerating armour

[Guest guest]

ok thank you for your expertise on this. I'm thinking of doing another saliva test and ft3 rt3 test. Not sure what to pinpoint at this time...low thy levels or adrenals or just cant take the cellulose. I've also seen many post on other sites of ppl doing well on levo and cytomel combo.

do not as I cannot tolerate pork.

Yeah - I do well on Levothroid and Cytomel.  The generic T3 is no good - it's not as potent as cytomel and if you have to split pills like I do, it just doesn't work. So, if you do want to try synthetics make sure it's written as " Brand medically necessary " .    I also get my 200 mcg of Levothroid written as 50 mcg x 4 as the 50 mcg of all the synthetic T4s is the only one that doesn't contain dyes.  I don't do well with yellow or red dyes.
