Hi,
In September I had some blood work done and found out I have low T3 (64) My doctor is waiting to see if the numbers will increase on their own. Meanwhile, I have been on a diet (approximately 1200-1300 calories a day, just enough to match my resting metabolic rate) for a year now. Nothing but clean eating, low carb and gluten free. Last year I tapered off two psychiatric meds which threw my body into a stress state and I suffered the typical insomnia and anxiety that goes along with the process. My naturopath was hesitant to give me anything that would speed up my metabolism thinking this would stress my body further and exacerbate my symptoms. I am now sleeping well and the anxiety and irritability have subsided. I am wondering if I might be a good candidate for the Armour thyroid treatment? I am tired of not being able to eat anything but diet food all the time!
