Help with numbers switch to Armour?

[dave1jm1]

I was hoping someone can look over my numbers and tell me if I would benefit from switching from Synthroid to Armour Thyroid. My doctor is fine prescribing Armour to me but do not want to do it if it is not going to help. I currently take 50mcg of Synthroid.

TSH - 1.554 (0.280 - 3.890)

T3 Free - 2.5 pg/ml (2.3 - 4.2)

Total T3 - 67ng (87 - 178)

TPO AB - >900

T4 - 8.9 mcg (4.5 - 12.0)

All vitamin levels were fine other than Vitamin D which I am supplementing with 2000 now. I tried going gluten free for 3 months but that seemed to make no difference in the way I felt.

Thank you in advance.

It’s very individual so who knows until you try it. But you may feel better just with an increase to your Synthroid? I think Armour is a much more gentle treatment and if your doctor will prescribe I’d snatch his hand off.
