Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hi Shana, Am I understanding that you use 4-5 grains of Armour (after RAI?). I had RAI myself, and my TSH goes low when I increase my meds. But I've read of some cases where peoples TSH's are cmpletely messed up after RAI, therefore it is very important to check the FT4 and Ft3 as well. May I ask where your TSH is? Mine was 0.005 two weeks ago, Ft3 over the range, and I feel good with that.
