Does anyone take armor thyroid and synthroid/levothyroxine? I see armor plus t3 but wondering if anyone on armor needs to add t4?
I’ve just never seen anyone mention that so far.
For context I’m moving from Alaska to Florida in two weeks. I love my current carrier but it’s this teddy fleece material that will be way too hot for Florida!! I’ll post pictures I’m just wondering if anyone knows of any similar in maybe a linen or cotton fabric that would be similar. I love it so much and will be able to use it a few months a year there but need something for frequent using!
I’m bedbound with free t3 well below range. I tried liothyronine and it made me feel psychosis. I lowered my thyroid dosage from 225mcg to 100mcg in hopes it wouldn’t and I’m still unable to tolerate caffeine so I’m nervous to try lio again, last time I ended up in the ER. I don’t know what else to do. I’m unable to bathe or take care or myself. My feet are ice cold. I’m afraid of things getting worse. Three months ago my tsh was .004 and I feel like I’m still experiencing psych issues from that.. I don’t know what to do to be able to survive this. What would you do. Please someone reply :(
I was taking 375 daily and now got decreased to 225 daily. My free t3 now is less than 2. I was on 400mcg for the last ten years but think I got post partum thyroiditis. I’m concerned about heart issues with too much levothyroxine I may have had.. maybe I just needed t3. Idk I’m confused do our bodies even need t4.. I’m guessing they do to be around 1.5 or so.. I’m experiencing so much brain fog right now from the drastic decrease.
My tsh is .04 since it’s only been 6 weeks and my free t4 is 1.1 and free t3 is 1.8
I guess my real question is what the heck do I do now to feel better? Do I have to wait til my tsh is elevated to take more levothyroxine.. won’t my free t3 just continue decreasing? Do I need armor thyroid or t3? I’m bed bound at this point. Idk what to do to have a quality of life but each day I’m losing touch with reality even more due to brain fog. I need someone to please help me :(
