Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Caroline, antibodies means that you will no longer be watching TSH. Antibodies tend to skew that one. Did you ever get an explanation of why you had to have Synthroid when your first dr prescribed it? Did he/she only test blood like TSH and T4? If they ran antibodies, then you'd have found out if you had Hashi's which is autoimmune. It also counts for something like 90 % of hypothyroidism cases I recently read. What you eat and all supplements you take will be affected by having hashi's (autoimmune thyroid disease). SandyE~Houston Peggy Hi Peggy. I totally missed your reply. Hopefully others have responded like . (Thank you !) Antibodies are tested via blood labs. Adrenals are better tested via a 24 hour saliva test--you can do that through ZRT labs--check the LINKS. Definitely get your Ferritin tested. It can explain some of why you feel bad. If your estrogen is on the high side, it can be hindering some of your T3, which is another reason why you might need a high amount of Armour in the long run.. Hang in there. Going back to Synthroid is the worst choice you can make. You'll eventually get this worked out. And by the way, get your free T3 tested. The TSH is useless information.

Sometimes I took a tablet so I would be able to sleep. > Yes I'm having my iron tested plus FT3/4 also with this week's blood draw. It's already at the lab waiting for me to get there which I'm going to try to do tomorrow. < Great! > Well then, it's good to know a lot of my symptoms will go away including the stomach distress after I get onto my correct dose of Armour. < It's my guarantee!

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 That is wonderful news! Glad to hear you are feeling better! Honestly, I think you started off on too small of a dose, but it sounds like it's working for ya now that you're getting up there!
