Monday is MY DAY!!

I'm so very excited.

I want to set up my pill planners this weekend.  If anyone takes thyroid meds (I take Synthroid 66mcg @ 5am and Cytomel 25mcg @ 2:30pm) can you share with me they times you take all your multivitamins, calcuim, Omeprozole, Actigall?

Can I have an example of your setups, please?

When you were in the hospital did the nurses give you a plan to go home with?

Thanks in advance.

Dawn

I personally take my Synthroid at 630 am. I know with thyroid meds you want to take them 4 hours before or after any other vitamins. And calcium at least 2 hours apart. Dont take calcium and iron together.  then have my protein shake between 7am and 8am. So my day for vitamins looks like this:

630a Synthroid

between 10/11 I take: 1 multi vitamin, 2 calcium(one dose), B12 2500 MCG, Dry vitamin D3, Biotin.

between 12/1 I take: 1 multi vitamin, 2 calcium

between 4/5 i take: 2 calcium

between 9/10 I take 65 mg of iron with 250 mg of vitamin 2, and 2 stool softeners(non stimulant kind)

I too have surgery next week, tuesday. I take thyroid medicine and my pcp said dont take iron or calcium or antacids with them they fight for absorption if taking together. Even pharmacists at store said same thing.

Haven't had surgery yet but I take my thyroid pill when I roll out of bed. By the time I shower and go through the morning routine I have waited long enough to have vitamins and other meds.

good luck, keep us posted how you are:) you will be on the losers bench soon!!!

Good luck with surgery. Keep us posted on your recovery. I'm having surgery Tuesday so will be joining you soon.

Thank you all for your well wishes and sharing with me your med plans.  I will keep you updated on my progress.

I don't get up 4 hours before breakfast so I take my thyroid medication at the end of the day, just before bed. Good luck on your upcoming surgery and welcome to the losers bench.!!
