Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I am currently on armour, and in my third month of antibiotic treatment for lyme disease. These are my lab results - I obviously have some issue with rt3, doc says not to worry, but I have read where alot of people have gone straight t3 and done so much better. It is hard to say if armour has helped me or not, I've been on it for over two years and have gained 50-60 pounds since going on it.I just never get the 'up' others seem to get. I lost 6# when I switched from the old forumla to the new (about the same time I went completely gluten free) -I think I have done better on the new forumla than the old though, but some of that may be due to the abx. Anyhow...............I'd appreciate ideas. I do have some cytomel and my doc will probably give me whatever I want if it works for me; if I switch over - how do I do it and how much do I need to have on hand? At one point, my doc suggested I add the cytomel to my regimen, but I'm not so sure about that. I just have alot of questions I guess. April 2009 – 2 grains " old' armour T3 Reverse 28 11-32 FT3 280 230-420 FT4 0.9 0.8-1.8 Ferritin 34 10-232 Vit D 28 20-100 October 2009– 2 ¼-2 ½ grains " new " armour / gluten free 6 weeks: November nonfasting afternoon draw/ a.m. meds T3 Reverse 27 11-32 ng 35 H FT3 318 230-420 pg 384 FT4 1.0 0.8-1.8 ng 1.1 Ferritin 63 10-232 ng 52 Vit D 34 20-100 ng 32 The second set of numbers under November are done in afternoon, non fasting and had morning armour dose. I should mention my sex hormones are off, my pregnenolone is off the charts high (I don't supplement), but my progesterone is dirt low - we know I am not converting " down stream " but not sure why. (maybe the lyme ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
