!!!When you say Yorkies I always picture a trucker with a big thick chocolate bar! It throws me.
Hi Ditto, have you not been advised to take the Levothyroxine on an empty stomach? My understanding is that it doesn't work very well if you don't. I take mine first thing then make sure it's at least half an hour before I eat anything.Mum's leftovers mostly veg and a bit of gravy, why? A Ham doorstep followed by a giant Tupperware bowl of Crunchynut Cornflakes and half pint whole milk!
2 Biscuits, Pint Water and a Levothyroxine. (I don't even like biscuits!)

This has been discussed with Ditto before Radders. I too take Levothyroxine first thing each morning on an empty stomache. @Ditto not ticking you off but I'm sure your Levo would be more effective if taken in the morning rather than at the end of the day after eating several meals and snacks - and your Thyroid blood tests would give a more realistic result.Hi Ditto, have you not been advised to take the Levothyroxine on an empty stomach?

Yes but I take my grit first thing and feel that the tablet would get flushed out too quickly! It's a quandary. My idea is eat at 5 and then don't eat again before going to bed and take the tablet last thing on a by then empty stomach. Hardly ever works as I'm usually pigging to the last. 😱Hi Ditto, have you not been advised to take the Levothyroxine on an empty stomach?
