I was originally on Armour, switched to NatureThroid 2017 onwards and did ok until last December when a new batch arrived and now realise (it was not the virus from November) having seen recent comments here that the reason i may still be feeling worse than last year is due to this change.

Its always struck me as odd that Calcium is added to the mix and i was ok on that in 2017 and worked round that, but something is different now.

I currently split doses 1 1/4 grain AM ,and 1/2 grain 6 hours later, if i switch like for like and Armour 'is' more potent i dont want a thyroid storm, any advice please would be greatly appreciated, my FT3 is top of range and FT4 in upper part of range.

My T3 has finally been sourced and arrived promptly from Germany and i am due to introduce this by reducing NDT to 1 grain as i posted a month ago, BUT learning on here about how people have had problems too with NatureThroid recently, i was hoping to feel much better than i do, or at least back to how i felt last November before i start adding T3, otherwise its so difficult to note 'what helped' so to speak.

Kind regards G
