Hello,
The last time my TSH level was withing "normal" range was 11-22-06.
From 2006 to Feb 2008, I was on Armor Thyroid. The last dose was 3.5 grains. My TSH kept going up with each dose increase. The Endo I was seeing didn't know why.
I left that Endo & now see MD who has me on 25 mcg Cytomel 3x daily.
My TSH as of yesterday's blood draw is 25.75. My FT4 is .39 (.61-1.76 range) and FT3 is 3.2 (2.3-4.2 range).
Is my TSH eratic because of Hashimotos?
I won't take Synthroid again. I've been on it twice (for about 2 years each time) and it has always made me feel physically sick. Armor I tolerated but my TSH kept increasing & my Endo was against increasing dosage yet again. Cytomel makes me feel wonderful but again TSH is high.
What is going on & what can I do to correct it? Is it possible to combine Armor & Cytomel?
I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have.
