- So right now I'm on 75 mg of levo and 60mg Armour 3 times a day (so 180 mg total). It's my impression that this is a lot of thyroid med- much more than most people. I've noticed that about every 6 months, my symptoms come back. The person I see...
- I always come back to this website when I start having thyroid symptoms again. It's been a good long time of feeling good. I'd say early winter 2014 until now. That was a pretty good run of feeling really good. I'm on 50 levo and 60 Armour at...
- I posted last week about being close to optimal. I listened to your advice about moving breakfast. In fact, I decided to try to eliminate breakfast entirely and just have coffee 3 hours after Armour and Levo was taken. It made a huge difference. I...
- So I'm doing a lot better in general since the last time I posted. My awesome NP upped me to:7am-50 mcg levothyroxine60 mg armour11am-30 armour 1:45-60 mg armour I feel really so much better since she added the levo.My mood is a lot better. I wake...
- My labs came back. T3- 4.9 (2.0-4.4)T4- 1.31 (.82-1.77)The labs that I had from when I felt really super good were:T3 4.6 (2.0-4.4)T4 1.69 (.82-1.77)So my free T3 is higher but the T4 is lower. I'm on 90mg of Armour in the morning 30 at 11am and 30...
- I've been on Armour for a year now. I had 7 months of really feeling super great- lost all the weight, felt happy, awesome. Then there was slippage and I started feeling bad again. The NP upped my dosage from 90 mg to 150 mg a week ago. After a...
- Been seeing my really great practice for a year now. At my visit today, the NP I see wants to test my urine the next time I retest for calcium/bone loss because my TSH is something like .013. She doesn't have a problem with it being that low- it's...

- Hi everyoneFor sometime now, I've been avoiding any calcium around breakfast and lunch because it interferes with Armour absorption. I finally found almond milk at Wholefoods that doesn't contain calcium- hooray! Feta is lower in calcium. Does...
- I feel guilty about posting this here since there are so many that are really suffering right now. I too was suffering but my labs are good now and I feel very good. Does anybody know anybody with low thyroid function who runs full marathons? I've...
- Revisiting my birth control. I'm on Armour. Can I take the pill or will that interfere?
- My TSH is now .006. My doctor had previously mentioned if it got down much further that it was bad so I'm worried about our appt Thursday, afraid she'll adjust my med downwards. What is she talking about?
- Question for you ladies. I'm negative for antibodies indicating Hashi's. I've read that 10-15% you can be negative but still have auto-immune. Thyroid issues do run in my family (paternal aunt and grandmother). So should I still quit gluten? Don't...
- Before this whole thyroid nightmare, I used to be a part-time vegan. I really like that diet, felt so happy and good (putting thyroid issues aside). Back when I first went on Armour Thyroid in September, I had read that dietary fiber can hurt...
- Here are my new labs. I am on 60 units of Armour and have seriously never felt so bad in my life. I missed Christmas parties and planned events. I feel worse than before I started the medication. Comments? My T4 looks low, right? Thyroxine (T4)...
