MB will give you her valuable input on the rest of your labs..
I know that 120mgs of Armour (2 grains) is the equivalent of 200mcgs of Synthroid. Gaining weight isn't a hyper symptom normally..so that's puzzling?!
I am going through menopause and they tell me to stop taking Cytomel yet my T3 is low. IDN anymore! I wish i could come on here more
I am a kindergarten teacher and don't get here much anymore
Stay strong!
