Thyroidectomy

[Aniela]

A year ago I had total thyroidectomy and I obviously rely on Levothyroxine 125 mcg. Next Monday I'm due to have a gastroscopy and colonoscopy because of my out of range full blood count and blood in my stool. My question here is how am I to decide when to take my Levo and then my other BP tablets giving enough gap between both. I have a morning procedure with water intake to be kept to a minimum of two hours before my procedure which obviously I don't know what time it will be. All medication to be with only a sip of water whereas Levo requires a full glass of water. Can anyone help with this. Thanks so much for taking time to read this screed.

You could always take your Levo the night before and then other tablets after the procedure.

I always take my mine as I usually do but I only ever have a few sips of water. Your stomach is going to be messed up with the prep anyway !

just take levothyroxine night before…..or in middle of night

Have you had full thyroid and vitamin testing done yet

Last post suggested you might be under medicated

Just testing TSH and Ft4 is completely inadequate
