New here to this discussion board.. I have had Hashi's since my son was born 15 years ago... was put on synthroid and felt like crap until finally put on Armour thyroid. Felt better within days... had to switch back to synthroid after limited availability of Armour, but that's done now so back on Armour.

My question is... all my drs make me go back to synthroid until they believe how badly I feel on it, then they reluctantly switch me to Armour again... On Armour though, my free T4 always tests below range, free T3 is mid-range and TSH is way below range at 0.02. Usually the drs don't freak initially and say that it's not relevant on Armour, but then usually after about a year of treating me, they suddenly freak and make me reduce the dose to help bring up the TSH... of course they're not considering that my free T4 will drop even further, and my free T3...

Was wondering if anyone out there has experienced this and how did your dr address it? I take 150mg Armour, recently dropped from 180mg.. (split in 3 doses/day).
