I believe the Armour will suppress the TSH so now the Free T3 and Free T4 are important to get to the mid to high range. Also are you waiting an hour to eat or drink coffee? I also wait 4 hours to take any vitamins. My doctor also prescribed a small dose of Armour for bed time, works for me but maybe not everyone. I also try to limit my sugar intake, optimum word is try. Too much sugar makes me feel terrible. Some foods are triggers. Have you looked at Stop the Thyroid Madness, some good info on their website. My doctor also said strength training was more important than the cardio for weight loss benefits. Hope you are feeling better soon. Good luck and good health! ps: having computer troubles today so hope this finally posts, not twice either.
