    To offer constructive feedback it would help to know what your symptoms are and how long you have been on the medication. Good luck!

    Your thyroid antibodies are negative.. so that's great news!  In my opinion...  everythings look in normal range.  But if your having hypothyroid symptoms.. I think your TSH could be a tad bit lower?  Not sure now.. just my opinion.  So, hopefully the Armour will help bring it down a bit.  I didn't feel better until my TSH was at around 1.00.    Hope someone could help you more than I can.. best wishes!

    Weight I couldn't get off until I started armour and metformin, dry skin, extreme fatigue to where it hurt to be awake and I could fall asleep driving, my dandruff is so bad and none of the medicated shampoos help, I was told I had life by a salon and freaked out and almost treated myself while 8 months pregnant but thankfull I went to my doctor and had her check me 3 times! Took a note to a different salon and they said they could tell it was just dandruff but my scalp was really bad. Bad depression. Between the depression and tiredness I wouldn't get up til 3pm and just let me son sit in a playpen! I was being a horrible mother.Bunch of other stuff but I'm tired right now.
