So, bottom range of normal on FT4 and FT3.
Right now I'm on 25mcg synthroid to start. We'll see what it brings. If not, I doubt this doc will Rx armour or cytomel (she thinks I'm just there to lose weight), so I have a specialist lined up who I know will prescribe it/not judge me.

Well, I have ONE name of ONE doctor now in the city, and I have ONE name of a doctor in NJ. And you might 'wheedle' synthetic T3 in an amount fit for a large cat out of the one in NY, you'd be better off with the Doc in Jersey, only because this one 'gets it' and Rx's natural as well as being very savvy with the synthetic combo.
12 members of my family (all female, ho hum, imagine that) did NOT spike ANY TPO AB nor TSI until about oh...at the least six years, and at the most, 11 years..AFTER the first test. One of my kids JUST got an enormous count for TPO AB after having been tested EVERY year for the last 11 years (oh yeah, when you are the kid of a thyroid patient advocate, you're getting tested, lol)>
If you don't get what you want, down the road...feel free to pm me for the doc's particulars. Best of luck to you, I had to start on that amount of synthetic T4 and then got very ill, as it's MADE from corn, and I am allergic to corn. But I'm 'lucky' to live quite close to one of the best thyroid specialists in the NorthEast.
