Right on about raising. I always hate to suggest raising a dose to

individuals since I don't know their medical/physical situation,

BUT.........if you have done well on Armour so far, and have no

heart issues, don't hesitate to tweak UP that dosage bit by bit to

find your very optimal dose...the dose that will mean all your hypo

symptoms are GONE!

FOR EXAMPLE: I used to think that 2 1/4 grains was my optimal dose.

I had great energy. Then I read that before the TSH came into

existence and even before the idiot T4-only meds were introduced,

folks on ARMOUR were on a minimum of 3 grains and higher. HMMMM.

SO...........I tweaked my dose, going up 1/4 grain a time, and

allowing each raise to sit a few weeks. I hit 3 grains perfectly

fine!! It also erased a few minor symptoms I was having.

(And by the way, her 1.38 T4 is higher than mine on an optimal dose

of Armour!)
