I have been having dizziness, no exercise or heat tolerance, palpitations. I just got my labs back and here they are:
TSH 0.08 (range 0.4-4.50)
Free T3 2.4 (range 2.3-4.2)
T4 total 8.0 (range 4.5-12.0)
they didnt do a free T4

I was put on thyroid meds by my Lyme disease Dr for hypothyroid. I was taking Armour 60mg. Dr told me to stop meds last Friday. How long until all this clears from my system???? I feel horrible anytime I move around!!! Waiting for callback from the doctor.

Previous labs in August TSH 1.83 T4 free 0.8 T3 free 2.6
and in July TSH 3.72 T4 free 0.8 T3 free 3.0

Hi Dc28,

T4 half life time is one week, so you need to repeat the blood test after at least six weeks, no need for Total T4, only FREE T3/4 and TSH.

Do you know what were your levels before starting Armour? are the previous labs you posted above with or without Armour?

Best,
