Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I went from 1 1/2 gr to 1 3/4 gr and 2 gr. I felt started having problems at 1 3/4 gr. at 2 gr I started hyperventilating and it went on for about 3 weeks. I am willing to try to T4. . I have my doubts about it, though. i've tried it before. - without armour. But if it doesn't work for me, I will go back to tying to increase armour more slowly, I think.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I think adding a little synthetic T4 is probably a good idea at this point. What dose of Armour are you on? If you tried to go from 90 mg to 120 mg, that may have been too big a jump for you. You may need to make increases in increments of 15 mg or even 7.5 mg of Armour. sle816@... wrote: Here are my labs/ Free T4 0.8 range 0.8-1.8 TSH 0.27 range 0.40-5.50 Estradiol 18 postmenopausal less than 27 Free T3 314 range 210-420 Ferritin was 53 range 24-210 Progesterone 0.7 range postmenopausal less than 0.7 He is raising my T4 but not the armour. I tried going up to 2 gr and I was hyperventilating and didn't feel good. So we're going this route. we'll see....Any comments? Thanks Steph Yahoo! Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Low BUN levels are not common and are not usually a cause for concern. They may be seen in severe liver disease, malnutrition, and sometimes when a patient is overhydrated (too much fluid volume), but the BUN test is not usually used to diagnose or monitor these conditions. http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/bun/test.html A low BUN/Creatinine ratio may be associated with a diet low in protein, a severe muscle injury called rhabdomyolysis, pregnancy, Cirrhosis, or syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 WOW, thank you so much, Matt! I am not sure what to make of all of this, but hopefully it is not all that bad. I am still sick from when I got hospitalized for 8 days from a severe asthma attack (later determined I had "mild infiltrates" in my lungs, whatever that is) and four upper GI issues, but I am not sure why I am still sick and dehydrated. Maybe just a long lasting "bug" of some sort. Thanks for you help! Re: Labs Low BUN levels are not common and are not usually a cause for concern.
