Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I would you might as well start off without the armour and see what your numbers really are. This will help you decide the dosage!!! But just remember all these dosages are just averages of the norm. Many need more or less hormone---that goldlocks thing again it seems!!!! > He is sending me for FREE T3 & T4.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 The best bet while you are there is also get your dhea test--did you do this one already?? if not get it done as well--why wait--the thing is it's always better to fix the adrenals before and along with your thyroid meds for your thyroid meds to work their best---what are your symptoms--did you look at the graph for adrenal problems---do you have many of these as well as thyroid. If you are going back for blood work---see what more you can get---go for a female panal of hormones along with the thyroid---get as much as you can!!!! -- In hypothyroidism , " Sales@b...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hi, I asked the doc about these tests. He said he was really unsure on how to do them. But I think he must be planning on checking into it b/c he siad if the armour didn't do the trick to bring it back up to him on my next visit and then we could do it. I left him with a lot of literature too. On the graph for adrenal problems mine was pretty much 50/50/50(adrenals/mixed/thyroid) -Dana -- Re: Finally got myarmour>>I forgot to add The best bet while you are there is also get your dhea test--did you do this one already?? if not get it done as well--why wait--the thing is it's always better to fix the adrenals before and along with your thyroid meds for your thyroid meds to work their best---what are your symptoms--did you look at the graph for adrenal problems---do you have many of these as well as thyroid.
