Make sure your endos are checking your T3 levels. Many hypothyroid patients do not convert T4 into T3 properly which causes them to experience hypo symptoms even though their TSH isn't flagging high!! Trust me, I just went through this. Armour might be a good alternative b/c it contains T4 & T3. However, the amount of T3 can't be controlled in Armour. It's a fixed 4:1 ratio. You might want to try Synthroid or Levoxyl with a little Cytomel (T3) or switch to Armour. Either way, I have the most incredible endo in the world. He's extremely meticulous, checks ALL of your TFTs at every visit as well as several other hormones that affect thyroid patients, draws the blood in his office & exlains EVERYTHING to you.

I went through 6 endocrinologists before I found him! He just switched me to Armour to see if I feel better on it. It's only been a few days so it's too soon to tell.

Anyway, his name is Philip Felig - 212-534-5900. He's located in NYC & does not take ins., but he is well worth the trip & cost!!! Well worth it! Be prepared for him to run 1-2 hours late. He takes his time with each patient so think of the visit as a day off from work.

P.S. My hair started falling out when I dropped down to .100 mcgs of Levoxyl. VERY SCARY, but it stopped as soon as I went back up to .112 & has not come back. Your hair will grow back, don't worry!
