Hi.. i am on 2 grains of armour and after finding a dr. in the baltimore area that will work with me, I want to make sure I'm doing this right..
latest labs
TSH serum 0.01 (0.34-5.60)
T3 free 3.18 (2.50-3.90)
Thyroxine free 0.65 (.58-1.64)

other than not losing weight..and having high blood pressure i feel pretty good..
thanks for your help.. Sharon

I have high BP too (that didn't go away with losing weight and getting optimized on my Armour...so, even though high BP is a 'symptom' of hypothyroidism....mine is here to stay I guess) and take daily meds for it. And I have to hit the gym and lift HEAVY as I can three times a week to maintain (along with eating right for me).

Your labs look much like mine, except for my FT3 is higher in range (same range, too..mine is 3.88) and my FT4 is .94 same range as yours. I'm taking three grains, split half and half.
