Armour and T4 question

[Guest guest]

I've been taking 1 grain Armour for four weeks and am due for a blood

test to check my T4, T3 and TSH levels tomorrow. I have a question.

Although my T3 is a very low normal, my T4 is right in the middle of

the range. I have plenty of hypoT symptoms and my Dr has prescribed

Armour on the basis of symptoms really, with the view that I have a T4-

T3 conversion problem. However, he wants to be " safe " and check blood

levels to check I don't go hyperT. So what I don't understand is

this. Armour contains both T4 and T3 (with other hormones etc) so

won't taking Armour raise *both* T3 and T4, thus putting me at risk of

seeming hyper if my T4 goes up off the scale?

TIA
