Re: Adding T4 or T3

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila;

I, too, have noticed some improvement when adding just a tiny

smidge of T4 to my armour dose of 45 mgs (I'm going real slow w/

dose increases!) In a nut shell, armour is great for my brain and

energy, and the tiny bit of synthroid (12.5 mcgs) is better for

heating up the old bod, weight loss, and hair and skin.

However, even this tiny dose of synthroid has given me the old

synthroid brain dead feeling. I am hoping to fine tune this further

by adding an increase of 15 mgs of armour when I get a new armour

supply.

Hi Sim. I know your post was to Sheila, but I wanted to tell you

that you might have gotten the same good results if you had just

upped your Armour. Remember that Armour is 80% T4. So when you raise

Armour, you are raising the T4, as well. But with the addition of

Armour and it's 80% T4, you would have also gotten the addition of

the T3, T2, T1 and calcitonin, and the extra T3 would have helped

that brain dead feeling.

I don't mean to dig this into the ground--LOL---but so many folks

are adding T4 too soon, when upping the Armour would have done the

trick. Sheila mentioned that she added the T4 to her Armour because

when she tried to increase the Armour, she got bad results that she

thinks was from the extra T3. But most folks haven't gotten up to

their optimal Armour, and do not have problems when they raise their

Armour like Sheila did.

Your 3/4 grains is actually a paltry dose, and you could benefit

from upping it. You are probably no where near your optimal dose.

Just something to consider.
