Dr Mark,
I'm still treated on Armour and my dose over the past over three years has now been titrated up to 150mg.
I wondered if I could get your opinion as to how my levels look from the standpoint of my Free levels. Thank You.

Free T-4 "1.0" (range 0.8 to 1.8 NG/DL)
Free T-3 "4.1" (range 2.3 to 4.2 PG/ML)
