Hypo since 2002

[Shereen77]

I have hosmitos tyroidits (sp) I have been on synthroid for years, but after my last pregnancy my thyroid has been going crazy. I have a great endocrinologist and he has been helping a little. I have tried chewing my synthroid and taking the pills w/ cranberry juice. I guess it helps the absorbtion If you ever need an ear to listen to you just text me

Re: Hypo since 2002

Pregnancy will cause a thyroid to go bonkers due to hormone fluctuations. It will usually settle down eventually. Your endoc should have informed you to take your pill on an EMPTY stomach and not eat or drink any food item for a full hour. To do otherwise will 'inhibit' absorption.
