HELP!

[Guest guest]

I have not posted in a while, but I need some advice. Last winter I

was on 100mcgs synthroid, and my TSH was below normal and my T4 and

T3 where above normal. I was feeling hyper. So I went on Armour and I

worked my way up slowly to 1 grain as of last week. Two days after

being at 1 grain I started to feel very hyper. My temp has been

running 98.6 every day for the last week which is unheard of for me.

I have been feeling hyper, shaky, internal vibrations, heart pounding

a little, and anxiety. So I had my blood drawn last Friday and went

to the endo today to get the results. VERY PUZZLING results the doc

says. My TSH is now at 29.9 which is about 3 times more than it ever

was. My FREE T3 is 292 (230-420), my TOTAL T3 was 145 (60-181), FREE

T4 0.8 (0.8-1.8), TOTAL T4 was 1.4 (1.4-3.8).

The doc really does not know what to do with me. He thinks that maybe

the lab screwed up with that 29.9 TSH and told me to have my blood

tested again as soon as possible to see if it was an error. So for

the last week I cut my armour back to 3/4grains from the 1 grain and

I feel only a little better. I just don't know which way to turn. I

am damned if I do and damned if I don't. I don't know if I should

increase my armour or decrease.

Any advice would help. By the way my 8am blood cortisol was 27.7 with

normal being (4.0-22). My ACTH was 58 with normal being <70.
