My mom has been on t4(Levaxin) since 97' because she had been overstressed for a long period of time and now she cant produce enough thyroid hormones herself(dont know the conditions name..).
She takes Levaxin 100mcg once a day with breakfast,usually containing milk. Does calcium interfere with the T4 uptake?
She has had a reved up metabolish all life but since she started to take medication she seems to be able to put more fat on, could be age related too though, shes 49.
I wondered if Its possible to raise the medication intake say 25-50mcg/day without any problems. And if so how should she pyramid it?
It also seems that she feels very strange when drinking wine for some reason, maybe elevated bloodpressure? Anyone knows if it could be the mix with medication?
Thanks a lot

p.s I told her about higher dosage (v. stupid of me) and she has increased by 50mcg without pyramding it up... shes been takin 150mcg/day for 5 days and hasnt felt any sides. Was this a too high increase? and what is the best thing to do now? decrease to 125mcg and the up to 150mcg again on just stay with the current dosage.. I kno it can be pretty dangerouse playing with dosage if u dont know what ur doin..
