I have been on Armour Thyroid for several years now. He tried increasing my dose to help with my thyroid issues, but it had little or no effect on my T4 but made my T3 go up too high... Is there anything natural I can do to increase T4 levels. I really don't want to take any of these drugs but I also want to start feeling better.>>
