Hi Colleen
Thank you for your thoughts. Right now I am getting all my baseline test done. I will start in February. My id doctor will start one med at a time to see how i tolerate them. Also we discussed taking them all at night. She wants to wait and see how i do with taking them during day. I also take Synthroid so we will need to take this one first.
My biggest concern is going to be stomach issues because i have them now. Reading the suggestion of others is very helpful. Its good to hear that some of you did well and others found solutions to managing the side effects. It gives me hope.
Definitely will keep updating as i begin this journey.
Again thanks. Miriam

I was on the Big 3 for 2 years. I also take Synthroid. I had to increase my dosage twice, so make sure they check it often. I am now off of the Big 3 and am checking my thyroid levels every 3 months because I'm going the other way again.
