Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Yep and I am such an impatient person to — just never seems to be enough time in any given day/week/month/year to do anything so I do hurry it along. I just never felt that “magical moment” I have read when folks switched to Armour... So I had too high an expectation I imagine. I am gonna go for more activity and back to the meds that suit me — levoxyl with a shot of cytomel. Sue My labs have gotten increasingly worse since I left the Levo bandwagon. My labs on straight Levo were TSH 1.18, T4 12 at top of range and T3 midrange. All totals. Since the Armour and the combos, my T4 has dropped to 8.8 and my T3 is below range. I probably just need an increase in both, but I can't tolerate the increases. I like to be warm, but not sweaty and even when I achieved that, I still couldn't lose weight. I'm going to be in trouble with my doc, but I'm going to try the 100mcg Levo with just a touch of Armour for a month to see what happens. I'll let y'all know if it makes a difference. Then I'll have to switch back 6 weeks before I see her again to be on what she wants. That way I'll see and document properly how I feel and how my body acts on both. If I like the Levo better, I'll ask to switch again. I'm at a point where I'm tired of playing with it. It's been over 6 months and my labs just get worse, but the worst part is going up and down all day. I don't want to 'feel' my thyroid meds going into my system. Slow and steady wins the race... JudyP I actually did better with more T4F as well. This was years ago when first diagnosed. Then I added T3 to try to get warm and lose weight. I got warm. Then I switched to armour cuz I heard natural is better. I gained weight and got cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
