Yes, I agree you should have started on a T4 med. I am one of those that do well on a T4 med. I
When posting labs please include ranges by the lab- they vary.
T4 med, synthroid is the starter med. Why did the doc not start you there?
If you really dessicated like Armour, then its a blessing. But if you dont need any more T3 in you it can be too much for your body.
Many fall for the 'dessicated is natural' bandwagon. Hogwash. After all the processing its not any more natural than aspirin. The main ingredient in aspirin is white willow bark. After the processing, its not really natural anymore is it?.
You cant start any dessicated pig thyroid med at full dose. Start low , half, work up 15 mg per week to avoid hyperness.
I take dessicated, because I have to, it not a choice for many of us. I wish synthroid worked for me- I'd take it again in a heartbeat. The minimal med that works for you is the one you should be on.
