[QUOTE="OMI100, post: 107807, member: 71"] What are your thyroid labs. FT3? FT4? RT3? "Acquired Hypothyroid from Thyroidectomy 2+ years ago. Took/Taking Armour Thyroid medication." "TSH 10.100 uU/mL 0.400 - 5.500 uU/mL H" Did you have all your thyroid removed? So you are taking Armour 135mg. "When the thyroid gland does not release sufficient hormones, the condition is described as hypothyroidism. As TSH is required to trigger the secretion of thyroid hormones, more TSH is released by the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid gland. Elevated levels of TSH thus indicate thyroid dysfunction or decreased levels of thyroid hormones." TSH of 10 is screaming "I need more thyroid hormone". What were your labs at 240mg? FWIW I have 1/2 my thyroid gone and I am on NP Thyroid. I was at a dose of 225 and it was way more than I needed. I was top of range FT3 and FT4 before daily AM dose. Cut back to 180 mg and a bit too low. Trying out 202 now. At all times my TSH has been almost zero Labs at 180 were: FT3 = 3.6 (66% of range) FT4 = 1.21 (41% of range) (need a bit higher) TSH = 0.006. It sounds like a lot of your symptoms are hypothyroid related. If your DR was trying to keep your TSH in a normal persons range, while you are taking thyroid meds, may be an issue also. Go here and read: [URL]http://www.tiredthyroid.com/[/URL] Get a copy of her book!!!! One of the chapters covers "Hyperthyroid Symptom's (Anxiety, Tachycardia) with Hypothyroid Labs". A LOT of other great info........ Another book to get is "Stop The Thyroid Madness" here: [URL]https://stopthethyroidmadness.com/[/URL] A LOT of good info here also. And one more great site with a lot of info that you may want to search / look around: [URL]https://hypothyroidmom.com/[/URL] I have no thoughts on the TRT related. O.K. I looked around the Tired Thyroid book and there is some discussion reference TRT and thyroid meds. Seems there is a relationship with SHBG, Testosterone and thyroid meds, that has to be watched because they are interrelated... Get the book. [/QUOTE]
