> Ok Val, I just talked to my daugher at length about her meds.  Come to find

out she had not been taking her meds correclyt.   She is young and hard

headed...not about to listen to Mom and since she is away I cannot monitor

her.  She has not been taking her T3 faithfully, ONLY the armour.  On the T3,

she said that she normally takes 12.5 in the am and 12.5 in the pm and SOMETIMES

her 12.5 mid-day dose..   So I guess my best situation is to have her try to

be totally faithful and re-test in a few weeks??  I am also going to have her

increase her T3 to 50mcg??  Does this sound alright?

suggest as far as a replacement?   Could she take a low dose of Levoxyl that

is equivalent to the Armour dose or am I asking for more problems?   I'll do

whatever you suggest.

I would use that runing out of Armoru as a great time to switch to all

T3. As long as sh eis taking med siwh tT4 inthem her RT3 is going to

climb; Yes 50mcg T3 woudl nto be too much.

Thank you very much for your advice. Now to work on her being good. I think I got through to her yesterday when I explained the importance of her strict regimen. We'll see.
