Looking over my posts for this past week, it seems that I am having problems with this medication - I lost one, they taste funny, I forgot to take one... Thank goodness I only have one or two more doses left in this bottle.
I am surprised that I was not tired yesterday afternoon, when I had forgotten to take my afternoon dose. I did crash really badly last night though. From the ThyCa email listserv, the way to correct missing a dose of Levoxyl/T4 is to take two the next day. I don't ever remember reading anything about what to do if you miss a T3 dose. T3 is fast acting, and short-lived, so I don't know what the benefit would be for taking two of these at the next dose. Could it make my TSH increase high enough to allow any thyroid cells, good or bad, to produce Tg? I doubt it, but I really hope this is not possible.
Other than the missed T3 dose, the only other thing to report is that tugging sensation in my neck is still there. I think I should only be worried if I feel some odd lump on the right side of my neck, like a bigger than expected lymph node. All I can do is keep tabs on how I am feeling and if I feel anything out of the ordinary anywhere on my neck. The minute any of this info changes is when I need to contact my ENDO. Hopefully everything is copacetic for the rest of the year.
