Found a keeper!

My doc IS going to raise my Armour dose from 45 to 60.  He also said at some point he may add in some cytomel or synthroid if my levels need it,  I had to kiss a lot of toads to find this prince!

Current labs at 45 mg armour:

TSH. 0.49
FT3  3.0 (2.3-4.2)
FT4  0.84 (0.76-1.46)

My symptoms were pretty hard to ignore.......

Hair loss
Low energy, fatigue, low motivation
Brain fog, difficulty concentrating, poor memory
Leg weakness
Puffy eyes, blurry vision
Long, heavy, painful periods
Feeling terribly cold
Weight loss
Anxiety/panic
Depression
Dry, cracked heels with thickened skin
Frequent UTIs
Easy bruising

I am so glad he ignored the "normal" labs and is treating my symptoms!

Yep, any doctor that will increase med, based on symptoms and ignore a low TSH is a keeper......... Yay for you!!  

Best of luck.
