I was prescribed 120 mg of armour about 9- 10 weeks ago). I

increased my own dose to 165(approx) mg over a few week period. Two

days before this test, I reduced back to 120 just for the test

results.... and here's what I got... along with the doc requesting

that I go down to 135 mg armour and retest in 1 month....

TSH 0.030L (0.350-5.500)

Thyroxine T4 6.0ug/dl (4.5 - 12.0)

T3 Uptake 30 (24-39)

Free thyroxine index 1.8 (1.2 - 4.9)

Triiodothyronine (T3) 146 ng/dl (85 - 205)

The TSH is the only one that screwed me up. What argument should I

give him to convince him that TSH isnt a good measure once your on

meds anyway? (And its only barely out of range isnt it?) I forget

most details and need some help on this one. Again.

(BTW, I am having HYPO symtoms still. Fatigue, constant weight gain,

brain fog like crasy, lack of gumption overall... NO HYPER symtoms,

except I've been a little testy a few times at my family.) RAI

about 20 years ago... theres no way Im getting enough meds here!
