Thyroid

[canny2lass]

I was wondering if I am doing the right thing by taking my thyroxine at the same time as my atorvastatin?

Welcome to the forum. When were you diagnosed ? How much Levo do you take ? How long have you been on Statins ? Often raised cholesterol is linked to thyroid issues. There is a great deal talked about them on this forum and you may wish to check out Dr Malcolm Kendrick who wrote the book - The Cholesterol Con There is no research to suggest that statins help women.... if you type cholesterol and Thyroid into the Search Box - lots of earlier posts will appear.

What supplements are you taking ? It may help if you could post your latest thyroid bloods with ranges for people to comment. Often when people are optimally treated for their thyroid the cholesterol goes down naturally Also good levels of B12 - Ferritin - folate - VitD are required.....

No I don't think it's a good idea to take them together. Thyroxine should be taken alone on an empty stomach.
