Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 >>His FT4 before starting Armour Thyroid was .99 and FT3 was 5.0. His FT3 has remained steady as the Armour was increased up to 1.5 grains. However, his FT4 has decreased to .7. Is this significant? << It is significant in that it confirms what everyone has been saying to not stay on too low a dosage too long. Here is the bloodwork proof that too little treatment lowers the levels. It simply means he is not on a high enough dosage yet and the Armour is suppressing his own TSH and whatever thyroid function he had. I would think continuing to raise his dosage is the thing to do here. Artistic Grooming Hurricane, West Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
