when is it enough? (Armour)

[Guest guest]

Just increased my armour by 15mg to 3.5 grains (6.30am 105 12.00pm

60 5.30pm 45) and take 25mg T4. I was on 3.25 grains for 2 years and

was still way to tired/fatigued to get through the day properly. My

doc (doc Hertoghe-a thyroif specialist) advised start with HC due to

adrenal fatigue. I started but 2 months later stopped becuase ít

didn't 'feel right' (intuition not mind).

2 questions

1.I just increased a small amount (15mg) and for a few days I felt

much better like I always do after a dose increase. Is this normal,

a good or bad thing? I understand ofcourse that extra t3/4 is nice -

kind of like doping! If my adrenals were so bad surely I would feel

worse after an increase?

2. When do you know you are taking enough Armour? I know you should

dose for your symptoms, but is there a point (through temps, of

feeling well, labs) that you know you have hit your 'sweet spot'?

Anyone else spend years till finding their sweet spot? And does it

last? I read that someone needed 11 grains of armour before he felt

better!

My labs were ft3 5.6 (3.2-6.2) ft4 12.2 (10.2-17.2) and TSH <0.05

Thanks for any wisdom/sharing.
