Thanks unfortunately, we have met up in a city away from where he lives to do some xmas shopping. I had a chat with a lovely lad in boots and he thought id be ok but not to get levels checked for a while. I double checked my meds before i left , dont know how i made the mistake 🙄

Can you not register with any GP as a visitor? Living in a sea side resort the local population swells hugely during summer months and our GPs struggle to cope, because they are all able to see GPs here whilst staying. There is just a one page form to complete. So I guess your call, find a GP or go without? I am away this weekend and will be double checking my meds now. It's so easily done! Enjoy your time with your son. X

Hi WV,

how are you feeling? How long till you go home? I would think you'd be fine because you have a buildup of the drug in your system still.

Back home and taken my levothyroxine , im tired and achy but I think ive over did it rather than anything to do with missing tablets for a few days . As wsjkcj1 said I probably have a build up in my system 😀
