[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 79621, member: 972"] Its very interesting. I was on armour for years too. The authority on natural desiccated thyroid is "STTM" stop the thyroid madness website. Go check it out. They claim that the minimum starting dose is 2 grains or 120mg. It used to be 1 grain which equals 60mg. Yet you are on 30mg and notice a difference. I believe they also claim that your FT3 should be in the upper quadrant in order to feel best. Yet you are mid range. The reason supposedly according to them why a low dose does not work is the same reason as for TRT... there is a feedback loop that occurs and as you start you feel good but it dissipates quickly so you need more. Hence the reason for 120mg starting dosing. I never had any gyno effects from any thyroid meds. But you are using the non sensitive assay for E2 which is usually shows a number that is too high. Yet you show low. Perhaps low E2 symptoms are your problem. When my E2 is low I feel a little bloated so I wonder. Symptoms are always different between people so getting a sensitive E2 test would be prudent. [/QUOTE]
