Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 My dad is on 125mg of thyroxine. So I guess he will start on 1.5mg. So how long does he stay it that level? What is the protocol for getting up to 4.5mg? My dads doctor has always done his thyroid test 6 weeks or more in between test when changing is medication. The doc believes that it takes 6 weeks for things to settle down. But this will be different. If my dad is not feeling well in the first week he will need it tested wont he? How regular should he be having blood tests? With his fibro pain should he notice an effect straight away? I think I am going to start him on liquid lnd because it will be easier and less time consuming when he needs to change dosage. When everything settles then I will put him on capsules. I would just like to thank everyone out there who has taken the time to answer my questions over the past week. This is my last resort for my dad. My dad is on the scd diet and that has really helped in terms of feeling sick in the stomach and lessened his pain a little. But he is only 56 years and his body is just wasting away. He looks anorexic. Anyway thanks again from Sky and her dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
