Armour Thyroid review/feedback please hypothyroid and mirena coil

[Fibefm]

Can I please have some feed back on Armour Thyroid? I’m underactive with these latest results

TSH 10.76

FT4 <3.2

FT3 3.8

I was on liothyronine 20mcg twice a day, as thyroxine didn’t work for me, I don’t convert.

I’ve just been privately prescribed my first pot having been on liothyronine for years and just wanted to know how people get on please? I’m starting on 1 grain twice a day.

I have also just cut out gluten to see if this helps. I take supplements too. I want to feel better and if I was prescribed bleach, I’d have had it as fed up with the weight gain, brain fog, hair falling out, lethargy.. etc.

On a side line, I’m also on the 4th year of a mirena coil and wonder if I should have it removed, I’ve been trying to find info, to see if there’s anything good/bad with having it and underactive so please let me know anything you know!

You certainly need something and NDT (Armour brand or Thai brand) may certainly help you. It is most important for you to understand that synthetic T3 (normally called Liothyronine) and synthetic T4 (normally called Levothyroxine) are different in chemical composition to the natural T3 and natural T4 contained within NDT and can never therefore work in exactly the same manner, although the results may be acceptable for some people.

Levothyroxine never suited me, but NDT works as well as anything is going to work so try it and see what happens.

Agreed completely. I was half dead on levothyroxine. NDT is a godsend. I use a Thai brand (self-source/medicate) and never looked back.
