TSH to FT4 relationships. Armour? Find a doctor to treat?

[Guest guest]

My GF has a inappropriate relationship for TSH and FT4. IE Low TSH

compared to LOW FT4 according the the graph on p185. She obviously

has all the symptoms of thyroid problems. Goiter, nodules weight

gain, all of it. What do we do? Self treat with armour (how do you

get it?) find a doctor that will work with you? That is going to be

hard given everything is within limits. The only thing I can think of

is bring a endo book with us and that graph and convince them that way

that she needs to try some armour.

Thanks

In secondary hypothyroidism (when the problem is improper signaling

from the hypothalmus or pituitary) the TSH can be low, normal, or

high. Google secondary hypothyroidism and find an official looking

medical site to print off some information for her doctor.

My TSH was consistantly low. I was prescribed thryoid medication

based on symptoms.

There are some 'good' thyroid doctors out there.

Try looking through these links.

You could phone the receptionists at some doctors offices and ask if

the doctors are familiar with prescribing Armour thyroid. I found an

ACAM/orthomolecular medicine doctor who prescribed a similiar product

for me (but be sure not to follow their creepy chelation protocols!!!)

You can get generics which are almsot identical to Armour,

Consider joining the natrualthyroidhormones forum.

They will tell you how to get it...but you have to ask for the

informaiton OFFLINE, and they have to recognize you as one of the

members.
