Is it possible to take take much armour thyroid? At four grains daily my levels are still low.
Do you have a full set of labs for thyroid? hard to believe at 4 grains....Is it possible to take take much armour thyroid? At four grains daily my levels are still low.
Yes free t3 6 hours later is 3.3Do you have a full set of labs for thyroid? hard to believe at 4 grains....
Looks like you're taking too much because of your low TSH. How long after your dose do you do your labs?Yes free t3 6 hours later is 3.3
Free t4 1.26 tsh is .008
if the FT3 and FT4 were the same before you took anything then I would cut back to 1 grain and see what they does. I was always trying to find more energy in getting a higher FT3 and never worked. I take 1 grain and get 3.3 FT3 and .8 FT4 and 3.5 TSH....ask your doctor but I would be careful about over dosing....Yes free t3 6 hours later is 3.3

6-7 hours after the doseLooks like you're taking too much because of your low TSH. How long after your dose do you do your labs?
I was told by a number of doctors you should do your labs 24 hours after taking your thyroid meds. It gives an accurate reading. Otherwise, you may be testing the meds there in your blood, not in your tissue.6-7 hours after the dose
At that rate my levels would be non existent so I guess I definitely need a higher dose Vince. I’ve heard that from very good doctors too! I’m probably going to see if they will add 2 more grains of armour in the afternoon in addition to my morning dose of 4 grains.I was told by a number of doctors you should do your labs 24 hours after taking your thyroid meds.
