Amy,

Dr. S put me on Levothyroxine 0.100 mg (100mcg) - 1 tablet in the mornings on empty stomach - don't eat for an hour,like Nelie said. He didn't say how often he would run a thyroid test - just that we would see where I'm at at my next check-up in April.

Carol,

Thanks for the added info - I would think a couple servings of soy a day would be OK - I just don't like dairy milk anymore - the soy is much more palatable to me - dairy milk seems to be too thick for my dry mouth - even the skim milk. I am so tired of being cold - how long did it take for you to notice improvement in that area? Thanks, Pam
