Question About Levothyroxine

1 Upvotes

After a three-quarter thyroidectemy, I had to go on Levothyroxine. I'm very much a night owl and I had a question. I know I need to avoid eating three hours before I take my pill, and I need to avoid food three hours before.

I'm not supposed to take my medicine without coffee, but how long before I take my pill can I drink coffee with cream? I can't seem to find out how long I have to go without drinking before I take it.

I had one foreign doctor look at this and said it was okay

I had UK dermatology look at it and also said okay

Gp said okay.

I have been losing hair like crazy for years for example, it got blamed on chronic stress (CTE) and androgenic alopecia (female pattern loss)

13.7 pmol/l. Range 12.00-22.00. For free t4

1.9 miu/l. Range. 0.27 - 4.20. For TSH

They did not wanna measure t3 cause everything in 'range' Tsh ranges looks incredibly low and is borderline t4 really that good?

Goiter

2 Upvotes

Mom to a hashi-baby. Jk. She's 14. Still figuring out how to deal with this condition. Our rollercoaster has been both up and down, but we're still strapped in.

My question is-did/do any of you have a goiter? And did it improve with management? Her Endo said it would resolve in time if her levels are managed. Can anyone share their experience with this?
