55yo male on Armour with variable FT3 results still exhibits hypothyroid symptoms. Wondering if the Armour dose is incorrect, or is Armour not needed? Perhaps there is another problem in the thyroid system? Heading to new doc this week and wondering what questions to ask?
These data were collected over a little more than a year:
TSH: 0.01, 0.719 , 15.0, 11.3, 0.054, ref: 0.45-4.5
Free T3: 2.8, 5.5 , 2.3, 4.2, 5.1, ref: 2.0-4.4
RT3: 19, 13, 9.2, 13, 16 ref: 9.2-24.1
FreeT4: --, --, --, 0.61, 0.78
The Armour dose was adjusted over this time period based on the FT3 results.
What would cause such instability there?
Thanks for any comments or direction you can offer.
