To help remind me to take my thyroid medication every day I keep a bottle of water next to a pill box that has my daily pill in it. I pass the counter I keep both on each morning when I first get out of bed thus reminding me to stop and take my pill. This also allows ample time between the time I take my pill and I eat breakfast (about 2 hours). As has been pointed out thyroid medication should be taken at the same time each day, calcium should be avoid 2+ hours before and after the pill and it best to take it on an empty stomach. Please do not skip a dose! As has also been pointed out taking thyroid medicatioin really is not a big deal but it is a life time medication. I must say I was so happy when my Hashimoto's was diagnosed and I felt so much better once I settled into my dose (112mcg). I never want to return to where I was for I literally felt like sh*t each and every day. It is so nice to have my life back.

I do have a question - time wish when is the best time to have your blood drawn to check thyroid levels? I know with dogs we advise owners to have it drawn 6 hours post pill, is it the same for humans?
