Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 I have posted here a few time and I am in the middle of trying to get this hypo straight. I had RAI for Graves in 95. I tried Synthroid alone. I have tried Armour alone. On armour I felt better but I always reach a point a 2 grains 120 that I cannot take anymore becasue it makes me hyper but 120 I am hypo feeling stil. As I have said I split it into twice a day wich helps but still not right. I alternated every other day between 135 and 120 and had my levels checked and came in normal (less than .35 hyper and I came in at .48) but I still did not feel right. Last week my doc let me add 12.5 (half of a 25 of synthroid) I took it 6 days and developed hyper symptoms that got worse as I went along. At 120 it feels like if I had just alittle more of something (T4 or T3 that I would feel ok) because anything above 120 on armour alone makes me feel hyper. I going to see the doc tommorrow and talk to him about adding just T3 (cytomal) to the Amrour or Just taking T3 (Cytoaml) alone and dropping the Armour. I have discussed the T3 alone thing with him and read on the net myself that 2 grains of armour= 50 mcg of cytomal. If he puts me on T3 alone I am afraid to start this high as I have had too much thyroid before and it is no fun. More like try 12.5 in am and 12.5 in pm of cytomal alone and if after a couple days on that raise it to 25 am then 25 pm. Does anyone here take Cytomal alone?
