Plan: Atkins
Stats: 171/163/150 Female 5'8"
BF:
Progress: 38%
Location: MA
Default Just got new test results

TSH is at 2.44, what my family Dr, a Genral practicioner, calls "normal". However, i don't feel normal, I have almost no eyebrows left and my initial 6lbs lost on induction is all I have lost in 4 weeks. I have low energy, need naps but don't have time to take them (working full time and in grad school)
so i have asked the doc to consider prescribing Armour instead of my current levothyroxine.
I really think the T3 would be helpful in improving my symptoms.
Comments or suggestions anyone?

I would suggest that you go see an endocronologist and my GP said the same thing to me. My endo wants my TSH to be between .8-1.
