Dear Holly and thyroid listers,
If my memory serves me well, I believe your math
logic and conclusions are correct. Surely there
must be a table if you type it into google, though.
Interestingly, about 3 weeks ago I switched from
Armour to Synthroid. I had been on 2.5
alternating with 2.0 grains of Armour (and in the
past much higher doses) and my doc put me on 1.25
of synthroid. My prior labs had shown free T3
levels that were on the high side so I was ready
to see if this helped my blood pressure which was
170/80 at the docs ( and home afterwards as
well). In 1997, when I was first diagnosed with
Hashimotos, my endocrinologist put me on .88 of
Synthroid based on my weight and being the type
of doc who treats the TSH. Luckily my other
wiser docs advised at least some T3 or a switch to Armour.
Btw, does anyone know - I've heard conflicting
things from different 'experts' - what percentage
of T4 and T3 does the normally functioning human thyroid put out?
Now I'm having more hypo symptoms but fewer hyper
symptoms (and my blood pressure is much better
although still in the 140's). Oddly, I've never
had high heart rate or palpitations but did have quite a bit of anxiety.
Wishing everyone the best for a Happy New Year,
Susan
