Missing A dose of Levo

I missed a dose today... ugh, first time though...

I know it supposedly is not a big deal, but should I take one tonight or don't worry about it..

If it takes 4 to 6 WEEKS (like 42 days) in order for the Thyroid levels to stabilize in the blood stream for testing,  one would think that a single day without the med would have a fairly negligible effect if you missed a single day.  At least that's my thought on this.

I'd just wait until tomorrow then...and throw a couple into your wallet or glove compartment or desk drawer or locker so you'll have them with you if you forget again.  I've NEVER forgotten mine...but how would I know???  LOL

I don't know how long it's been since you missed the dose (a few hours?), but why not take it now?  If you remember soon enough after missing the dose, you can take it when you remember.  If it's 12 hours later, you might just skip it until the next day.  Either way, it's not the end of the world...not advisable, but it won't upset the apple cart too much as long as you don't make a habit of it.
