I started taking 50 mcg levothryoxine in june of this year. I didnt' have any symptoms it wa found in my blood tests when I had my physical. i put off taking it because of the need to wait to take my other vitamins and such. I take the levothyroxine before I get in the shower in the morning and then because of the waiting to take the others I usually end up forgetting to take my vitamins because taking the levothyroxine has messed up my routine in the mornings. I hate it. So I'm thinking of changing it to take it at night, I have sent an email to my dr to see what she thinks about it.

      Hello Sdmomof4:

      3.35 is a good TSH level.   The normal range is 0.45 to 4.50 and most doctor's like it in the 1.0 to 3.0 so you are in good shape here.  So good job, and keep it up.  How are you feeling?

      Regards,

      Shelly
