I have forgotten to take 5pm tea time dose of t3. Is it OK to take later in the evening?

I took my dose on an empty stomach, 2hours late at 7pm. Had a good sleep. I must admit taking 3 doses a day takes planning ahead, but so worth it🌸🌸🌸🌸

hi I set my reminder on my phone otherwise I sometimes miss my 2pm dose. It’s worth a try.

Hi, I think that's a good idea, do you take it exact same time every day?
