Yes and yes, if it is pernicious anemia (caused by lack of B-12).

Only if there is a reason that you need T3 directly. About 95% of hypoT

people do fine on T4 only. Most of the rest are on this list.

life.

Hello Everyone,

I had a doctor's appointment this past week and saw my lab results.

My TSH level was 60.67 and my hemoglobin level was 7. The doctor said

that I have severe anemia. My question is: Is there any correlation

between hypothyroidism and anemia and do B 12 injections help? Also, I

have heard that Armour thyroid supplements are more effective then

synthetic ones, is there any truth to this?

Thanks so much for any insight that can be provided.

Best,

Alisa

Gracia, I agree with Chuck

For me, I found I convert T4 to T3 very well, maybe too much and

strongly! My FT3 level is always almost the same as FT4 level. For

example, when my FT4 is 40% , the FT3 is almost 40%, too. when FT4 is

50%, the FT3 is almost 50%.
