Hashimotos

[podgy]

I hope you can give me some insight. My last tsh was .526, free t3 was 3.4, and free t4 was .82. I was recently changed to Armour 60mg. I feel really bad with headaches, weak, joints ache, sleepy, and can't think straight. I don't know if my thyroid could be causing it or something else. I have also gained 30 lbs in the last two years which is unusual for me. I didn't have these problems so much when I was on Synthroid but doctor changed me because my tsh was .331 and he said that was too much Synthroid. I was on 100mg at the time. Thanks

Podgy, It will help members advise if you include the ranges for TSH, FT4 and FT3 (figures in brackets after results).

[podgy in reply to Clutter]

TSH (0.526)

FT3 (3.4)

FT4 (.82)

Thank you

Podgy,

Those are your results.  With the range TSH would usually be something like TSH 0.526 (0.35-4.50) which would show that TSH is low within range which is desirable.  I can't interpret your FT3 and FT4 results without their respective ranges.

TSH 0.526  (L= 0.350 - H=3.74)

Free T3 3.4  (2.4-4.5)

Free T4 0.82  (0.80 - 3.80) Sorry
