Don't know what to do RE: Armour dosage

[Guest guest]

I had worked up to 4.5 grains and went to see my endo. He asked me a

bunch of questions about my symptoms, then did a few " tests " . He said

he thought I was hyper and to back off by 1/2 grain. So I did. I

tried it for 2 weeks and felt really fatigued and had more muscle pain

than usual. So I decided to go back to 4.5, and now I'm shaky. I know

I was shaky before, but I guess I just didn't relate it to the Armour~I

thought it was an HC thing.

Any thoughts? The only labs I had was TSH and it was less than .01

What you need is free T3 adn Free T4 labs to sort out what is what. We

both know that TSH is not a good indicator. If free T4 is not 1.4 then

oyu are still hypo and it is most likely adrenal, but of T4 is higher

than that too much Armour would be indicated.

I wish I could get current labs...I will try to ask if I can get those

tested. BUT my last labs my free t4 was 1.4. I was at 4 grains at

that time. Do you think I should have stayed there, instead of raising

again?

Val, sorry I didn't give complete info. I am brain dead! 5 months ago

my free t4 was 1.4 and my free t3 was 428. I am wondering if I should

have stayed there instead of raising again.
