Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 Hi Everyone!! Well today was the day I got to meet my new doctor I was sooooooooooooo nervous!! Ive waited over a month to see him. Well he was very nice and very open to things!! Unlike my endo who would only run tsh tests. He took blood and ran the following: Comp/High CBC w/diff CMP DHEA-S T3 FREE T4 FREE TSH He wants me to switch from synthroid to Armour ~ Im really nervous about this because I have been taking synthroid for 15 years..... I am currently taking .25 mg of Synthroid daily and he wants me to switch to 90mg of Armour 2times a day. He said that my synthroid dose is pretty high and he might not have given me a large enough dose of Armour but he wants to see me in 3 weeks to test it. (IM SOOOOOOO NERVOUS ABOUT SWITCHING.....Anyone else switch after using synthroid for so long?) He wrote on my sheet " adrenal deficency " Im not totally sure what that means.....I didnt see it until I left otherwise I would have asked him. He said that he believes I have a hormone inbalance and he wants me to come back in 3 weeks when I am mid cycle so that he can check my Progesterone. I have no idea what this is but he gave me some reading materials and a tape to listen to. All and all he was very very nice and Im so glad I didnt chicken out and cancel my appointment!!! Im just super nervous about switching to Armour.... I hope it goes well!! Please let me know what you think!! Love you guys and I really appreciate all of your help getting through this!!
