Hypothyroidism: Our bodies are amazing and dynamic structures. Disease processes come to an equilibrium with treatment modalities that are instituted. The thyroid in particular can wax and wane in its functionality. Just because 1 dose of your Armour was instituted doesn't mean that that's going to be your dose forever. Re-evaluated is needed and the dose of your thyroid hormone increased if TSH is elevated.
