Progress - Levo and Armour combo - questions

1 Reply

I have been on Levo and Armour combo since December (and on Armour since Sept, again).

Recently I have swapped 1/8 grains of Armour with 6.25 Levo. Had some blips at the beginning (palps, dizziness, hotness), but now I am slowly becoming more hypo.

Latest bloods before this change on 2.625 Armour and 12.5 Levo were:

TSH less than 0.01

Ft4 56%

Ft3 72%

Before that, on 2.5 Armour and 12.5 Levo results were:

TSH 0.03

Ft4 27%

Ft3 70%

Now I take 2.5 Armour and 18.75 Levo.

Right now I feel like severe hypo again - dry skin and itchiness, eyes, mouth, nose etc., insomnia, puffy face, more water retention, stiff legs, cold body, anxious, pain in liver etc.

I am assuming when I decreased Armour on above results, my ft3 fell which I can feel, while ft4 maybe have gone up a tiny but (since there is t4 in Armour too).

I am not sure I am going the right way.

Tagging pennyannie - I am thinking that maybe I just need to be on NDT only, like you suggested beforehand.

Thanks,

Swampy

Not sure what I'm doing wrong as I don't get any replies :) Start to doubt if maybe my case is hopeless. If anyone has any advice on taking NDT I would love hear your experience. Thank you
