-Hi ,

Thanks so much for replying to my post. I have tried to divide the

dose of synthroid but I still seem to react to any dose over 25mcg. I

even have to split the 25 into 2 doses. I hope i will be able to

tolerate armour. Are you taking all armour now? If so has it worked

better for you? thanks for your help:) Car
