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!!
