Wow, I’m so sorry to hear that you are dealing with *all* of these issues at once!

You can post labs if you’d like, but one unique feature on this board is that we will not interpret labs or give medical advice (per the wishes of the GDATF’s Board of Directors).

Because we are fellow patients, not doctors (and because we don’t know the individual’s medical history, co-existing conditions, other medications, etc.) we feel that it can be more dangerous than productive to cross the line into giving medical advice.

Take care!

I’m really glad to hear this because I got into a group once who were obsessed about labs and were complete downers about anyone who submitted to RAI. This group is so helpful. Thanks

Thanks again. I think I will just take the usual dose tonight. My pharmacist is unavailable on Sunday. But I’ve felt pretty good all day. Just a little cold. I guess I should have told you all that I had RAI 2 years ago. Do I need to post my labs anywhere? I’ve really been fighting this thing. Kind of mad at my endo for making me do this, but I understand his thinking. I was having liver effects with both the thyroid meds… Methimazole and TPU. I might have got those names wrong. Anyway, I also have MS, IBS, Scoliosis and Spondylosis and Fibro. So I’m a mess and am confused about all the meds. Trying to keep it to a minimum. Glad to have found this site.

You’re right, levoxyl is long lasting, and it likely won’t make a big difference as long as you make up the dose and put yourself back on track. It’s not like a pain pill that is immediately effective and then “runs out,” it is built up in the bloodstream and then used as our body needs it. Never worry about asking a question, that’s why we’re here!

Ok.. thanks. But what do you mean my “make up the dose”? Do I have to take 2 tonight????
