Thank-you for all your comments. I am on 1 grain right now but I

think I will up it soon. My TSH actually shows that I am more hyper but ALL

symptoms point to hypo. I am pretty sure it is the T4-T-3 conversion that I

have a problem with. My father was just diagnosed with hypo with a tsh over

10. Duh ! I could have diagnosed that one. Also his mother and grandmother

aslo had thyroid problems. But, because my TSH is under 1 and always has

been, no dr. will test any further or give me any armour. So I self medicate

like most of you. I have just had the bio-meridian testing done, and it

showed that my thyroid and adrenals are stressed. They put me on flaxseed oil,

Niacin,B6,5HTP, and a really good vitamin that I get threw Usana. It showed

that I needed T4 but mostly needed T3. I have had zero energy, brain

fog,depression,aches and pains,not sleeping etc, etc, etc. I feel a bit

better but hope this hot flush goes away.

Thanks for your help

Jody, if your TSH is that low, yet your symptoms scream hypo, it

could be because you have a pituitary problem. Or, antibodies can

trick the pituitary into thinking everything is OK, thus the low

TSH.
