When do you take your thyroid medicine?

Hi,

I have recently started taking Thyroxine and after a quick bit of research, I understand that it should be taken at the same time each day and ideally in the morning with a glass of water.

Thats's fine, but the confusing bit is in relation to when to eat and what to eat. At the moment, I am waking at 5am to take the tablet, going back to sleep and then have a banana or cereal bar at 8am.

I would prefer a bowl of porridge but by all accounts, milk causes a problem with it being absorbed.

I have read that some people take it when they go to bed, which would suit me better.

I would be really interested in when you take it and if you do anything special with food etc.

Tried taking mine last night before bed. Woke up at 4am to hear the milkman clunking around (I normally sleep like a log!) so not sure its going to be a long term thing if it disturbs my precious sleep

However, I did wake at 7am a lot easier this morning, but that could be due to 90 min sleep cycles? Will persevere and see if it changes anything (but I will probably just forget to take them altogether and slip quietly into unconsciousness!)
