I had my blood work done after being on levothroxyine forsome time, which was horrible for me, they switched me to armour 1 grain. They did my blood work on the 10 of July and my number went from this to this:

may 5, 2014: july 10, 2013

TSH 2.83 (0.40-4.00) 0.76 (0.40-4.00)

T4 0.8 (0.7-1.5) 1.0 (0.8-1.8)

T3 93 (58-159) 60 (76-181)

PER ANTIBODIES 409 <9 208 <208

They raised my Armour up to 1.5 grain on july 10.

I AM SCHEDULED FOR AN ASPIRATION BIPSY ON THE 12 OF AUGUST. pLEASE ANY INFO ON THESE NUMBERS, AN EXPLANATION, IS GOING TO BE HELPFUL! Thank you, Barb

Barb, TSH and FT4 have improved but FT3 is, indeed, worse. FT3 lags behind TSH and FT4 so has yet to catch up. 1 grain is roughly equivalent to 75mcg T4 which is obviously not enough for you.

The dose increase will help but I feel sure you will need a further increase.

Good luck with the FNA.
