Re: Doc appt yesterday, labs today

[Guest guest]

>>Any advice would be greatly appreciated.<<

PRAY your labs keep being this good (as far as you are concerned they are good!)

so this doctor that obviously doesn't trust Armour will continue to increase

your dosage. Sounds like she is LOOKING for a reason to tell you it is NOT OK.

Scary, but as long as she is increasing you and you are feeling better... GO FOR

IT!!!

I am curious how long had you been on 1.5 of Armour when these labs were drawn?

I actually think I kind of screwed up the lab readings because for the

first week I was on 1.5 and was feeling a little bit better so I went

up to 2.5 for 2 weeks and was feeling WONDERFUL, energy, losing

weight, and all that good stuff but thought I should try and get

accurate labs so for the last 4 weeks I went back down to my normal

dose. I don't know if that caused it to do that but this time I am

staying on the dose to make sure everything is good. Depending on

what I hear back from a different doc though, I may be changing docs

and getting better treatment.

I know, she was like " there is a slight tremor, are you sure you

haven't had heart palps? " haha I once had a doc basically tell me to

my face he thought I was lying about being hypo and just wanted the

pills to lose weight. And then he got the labs back and was like " yup

your hypo, here's your synthroid dose " Not like he was going to

apologize for calling me a lier, oh no. haha some people.
