thyroid antibodies

[Guest guest]

There are two kinds of thyroid antibodies.

There is the Anti-TPO, or anti-thyroid peroxidase.

There is also anti-thyroglobulin.

Either one of these will indicate a state of autoimmunity, or

Hashimoto's.

In our links section there is a folder called " Thyroid " . In that

folder is a link to a conversion chart, so you can see how much

Armour equals Synthroid and other meds.

Actually 15 mg of Armour is a very small amount. I take two 60 mg

tabs of Armour in the morning and if I remember, one 60 mg tab in the

afternoon, for a total of 180 mg a day. Compared to 15 mg, I am on

huge amounts!

But, I've worked my way up to it too. I have no symptoms of

hyperthyroidism on this dose.

YOu will know when you've reached the right dose, as you will have no

more symptoms.

I will post dosing guidelines that I found on the

stopthethyroidmadness group.
