Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi, I am trying to decide if I would be better off on T4 only or if I should stay on Armour. My ferritin was 31 last time I had it done ( end of Nov ) and I have been taking various forms of iron since - about 150mg per day with Vit c, digestive enzymes, etc. I was on T3 only and made it up to 31mcg and felt too anxious and just did not like T3. So I re-started on 1/4 Armour and worked my way up to 3/4 grain. I am feeling some improvement on the 3/4 grain, clearly all of my hypo symptoms are not gone...I have a long way to go. However, when I take Armour each time, I feel a little wired / tired from the T3 and low iron must be the reason for that. Would T4 only be better for a while? Or am I better off hanging out on a low dose of Armour for longer? I want to go my ferritin re-tested...perhaps next week. How long do I need to stop taking iron before the test? Do some people just find the T3 in Armour too strong? Thanks! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
