Armour Thyroid recently went thru a reformulation that is causing many
people to be undertreated. Not only that, but there is a shortage of
the base ingredients, meaning that even if you had a doctor who would
write for Armour, you may not get it. People are even having trouble
finding *any* natural dessicated Thyroid.
I would strongly suspect your increased TSH to the reformulated Armour.
Hope you can find the right meds.

I had my Armour refill and after about 2 weeks, I thought I was starting
to lose my mind. I had already noticed that it smelled and tasted
different. I then found out about the reformulation and had my doctor
re-write my Rx for NatureThroid. I got that filled and feel miles
better -- but even that Rx will be difficult to get refilled due to the
shortage. My mail order Pharmacy has already informed me of the
shortage and suggested that Levothyroxine was a good substitute - NOT!!
