Hello,
I was prescribed Synthroid today by my endocrinologist, and will start taking it tomorrow when I get up. The dose is 0.025.
Since my endo also works in a hospital, he had his secretary call me and couldn't answer any of my questions, so I looked online for more infos, and they talk about how I can't eat sushis, can't drink milk, can't eat shrimps.
But I'm confused about everything and I would like to know if anyone have informations about what to do and not to do.
I also have anemia and hypoglycemia.

Thank you,

Ana, very confused.
