 Different way to take your Meds
I kind of posted this on a different thread but thought I'd post it on a thread of it's own.
I have been on Synthyroid for about 7 years and 3 years ago had my thyroid removed. After my surgery I had major problems trying to regulate my TSH. I'd go and get tested and they couldn't even read the levels as it was off the charts high. So of course I was feeling horrible and nothing seemed to work. My endo did a test and found that I wasn't absorbing the meds properly, so I had the idea of taking half my pill in the morning when I got up and half when I went to bed. That seemed to be the magic step for me and my TSH went from over 100 to 1.25 where I've managed to keep it at for the last year. It's funny, my Endo is great, but this is something she had never considered and now suggests it too all her patients.
I'm not sure if this will work for everyone, but it has worked wonders for me so thought I'd throw it out there for those who are struggling with the same issue.
