For the ratio...Do I divide 281/16 to

get 17.5 which needs to be above 20?

Yes you did it right. With your ,labs, are oyu on any thyroid meds? If

not you mightbe able to try natural thyroid as your T4 is very low as

well. You also shoudl test serum ferritin.

As stated, I have been on Armour (brand) thyroid for 3 years....current dosage of 120 since Feb. 09 and prior to that 90.

I will request the serum ferritin this week!

Thanks!

One more thing....is my dosage (Armour 120) too high? What would happen if I just stop taking it...well weaning myself?

TSH - .09

Free T-4 -> .8 Range .8 - 1.8

ng/dl

Free T-3 -> 281 Range 230-420 PG/DL

These labs show pretty severe hypothyroidism so no your dose is not too

high, in fact oyu may not be absorbign it properly. Most people on

Natural thyroid feel est wiht FT4 at 1.4 adn FT3 420-450 so oyu can see

how low yours really is so it si not a matter of you taking too much

thyroi dthat is causing hti sproblem The supressed TSH is a sympotm

that oyur body is not able to use thyroi dproperly. Thus I feel

ferritin si a good bet as a cause for this.
