Re: latest labs and confusion

Hi Sandy,

I got plenty of suggestions for you - you need to be on a higher dose

of Armour, sack your doc, increase it yourself!

I was majorly hypo when my TSH was at 2.95. You need to be on more

Armour to get your Free T4 & Free T3 at the top of those ranges - it

doesn't matter if your TSH gets supressed or really about the other

ranges either; go off how you feel, not those darn bloods!

I can relate to all the things you're writing. Change your doc, or

self-medicate, but definitely increase your Armour & the world will

feel like a better place again.

I'm currently on 4 grains of Armour & was on only 75mcgs Sinthroid

for 5 years & felt crap. Wish I'd found this group back then!

As long as you keep an eye on your pulse you can self-medicate - it's

hardly rocket science this thyroid monitoring business is it? That's

what I've come to realise anyway.

I'd go for it & bump up your dose (mine increases 1/2 grain every 3

weeks). Remember, you know how you feel better than anyone.

Yes, get another doc, and this time, stay away from Endo's. This one

is an MAJOR IDIOT.

lol Janie, I've managed to find 2 real 'winners' who call themselves Endo's.

It's been enlightening to say the least!
