Re: Re: brand & t3 question

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to chime in on this. I was on Synthroid for several years with wildly fluctuating TSH levels. Three miscarriages in 13 months. I switched to Armour and got pregnant again, now I am 29 weeks pregnant. I am taking 180 mg aka 3gr per day. Personally this is the most stable my thyroid has ever been. I too have never heard of that type of dosing with meds, but it might work well for you. =) To: Thyroiditis Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 6:52 PM Subject: Re: brand & t3 question

Hi! Thank you for answering my questions. That information definitely helps. Yes, it is compounded strengths. I wasn't aware that it was unusual -- in your opinion is it "bad"?
