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
