Experiences with

Pigmentation changes

Hi, So I always have my thyroid labs taken in the morning on an empty stomach before taking my morning Tirosint dose. I currently take 75 mcg.

Is it safe to take plant sterols with levothyroxine? I've been told my cholesterol is high, it's 6.1 and my GP wants me to take Statins. I am not happy about this as I feel sure they will upset my IBS so I wondered if plant sterols were compatible with levothyroxine.

Hi Everyone, Since my partial thyroidectomy in December, I moved from an integrative practitioner to a new endocrinologist (who can better monitor my thyroid nodules) but who has also been adjusting my medication solely on TSH numbers.
