I have just read on 3 different internet sites that taking Thyroxin at night leads to feeling much more alert and clear headed.

I am going to try this as I have been taking mine in the morning for years.

Any helpful comments from GNetters please?

granjura incidentally my comment was in response to NanKate suggesting I wasn't eating enough.

This is a very good site with a very active forum which has been an enormous help to me! www.tpauk.com

Thanks Duchess I will try that site.

Well I have been taking my increased thyroxin at night for a week and I am definitely feeling better. Whether it is the time, the amount, or both I don't know, but long may it last. smile

Best of luck Angie my friend had the operation you are booked in for and she is so much better now and wished she had had the operation sooner.

Best of luck Angie, let us know how it goes. Sounds fairly straightforward if it is all above your clavicle.
