nice...   so you are okay mixing the natural and synthetic?

I had no function left either.  When they took mine out my labs didnt flinch.  The thyroid was yellow and green.

I have no thyroid gland function left.  So, with my FT4 at a level of .86, and a target of around 1.05, I need to increase my T4 dosage about 20 %.  Since I take 3 grains of Armour daily, which includes approximately 108 mcg of T4, a 20% increase would be about 25 mcg of T4 daily.

like start with a drop?   I'm curious to know your plan :)  I'm not there yet, but my Goddess of hormones mentioned this to me as well.
