Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 >>T3 150.0 60.0 - 181.0 NG/DL thyroxine 0.9 0.9- 1.8 NG/DL<< Your T4 is barely at the bottom of the scale so I would really think more thyroid would do you a world of good. With Armour you want to start out slowly and increase till you have no remaining symptoms. Maybe start at 1 grain and work your way up doing 1/2 grain increases every 3-4 weeks till you feel good or hit 3 grains then slowly continue increases till you have no hypo symptoms. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, " You're next. " They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi Sue. Armour gives you exactly what your own thyroid would be giving you---direct T4, T3, T2, T1 and calcitonin. On Levoxyl, which is T4 only, you will have symptoms the rest of your life due to an inferior treatment. I will post the NATURAL THYROID 101 for you.

Would like to test my adrenals too just in case they have issues too. Check the LINKS section. For adrenals, I used ZRT labs, and someone recently mentioned Great Smokies.
