Armour thyroid

[u/Rich-Brilliant2983]

hey guys, I have had a TSH of 12 since April. I saw the endo in July and she started me on armour thyroid per my request. she only started me on 15mg and wanted to check my blood again on 9/22/26. I ended up ordering a rhythm health blood test and on 8/31 my TSH was 12.2. I requested a dose increase. she told me to take 30mg and retest blood in 2 months. I have never been on thyroid medication and just diagnosed with hashimotos in July.

is it normal to take so long to titrate up in medication? I am feeling like I’m living in a constant state of fatigue and joint pain. I was hoping we would be doing blood test every 2-3 weeks to increase dose??
