RE: my recent results- switching back to t4-please help

[Guest guest]

Have you had adrenal testing? If adrenals are OK you can go back on

Armour. It takes T4 4-6 weeks to build up in the system to actually do

anything for you, but Armour has T3 in it which works the same day you

take it, but if your adrneas are weak it can cause the symptoms you were

having of sleeplessness and agitation, so you may need adrenal support

before restarting it.

I don't understand why the doctor would want you off the meds when your TSH

is high. That would be a sign of hypoT. Wouldn't that indicate a need for a

higher dose instead of stopping the meds?

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright
