well i don't think it is a uti because it doesn't burn or anything it just i pee more than i usually do. i have no other med isssues other than being hypo. but i will call the Dr today and get and appt.  i have been on Synthroid for almost a week now. i don't look puffy to me at all who knows. last night wasn't so bad since i didn't drink anything after 7pm but man i woke up so thristy too.

After I posted my  comment I realized I forgot something. Yes, when I started taking the med I was peeing alot, but like I said just about 2 weeks ago it's not that much.
I am puffy looking now. I went to buy "water pills" to see if it would help. I do not take them everyday, only when I think I need to.  
Have long have you been taking Synthroid?

I have been taking Synthroid for almost 2 months now and actually about 2 weeks ago I noticed I am not peeing as much as I used to. ( some years ago I got a really bad bladder infection and since then I would go at least 20 times a day).  I do drink plenty of water and such during the day.  I didn't call my Endo about it. I noticed that I have been looking quite puffy. Are you?

I was going to suggest time to see the Dr, too .. may just be coincidence as I don't think Synthroid is a threat to the UTI tract like other meds such as anti-inflammatories, etc. but I'm not a Dr.

They have otc kits for UTI's you can buy in CVS type store; but your Dr. is really a better choice since those darn tests cost almost $20 anyway and then you end up at the Dr anyway + the Doc will send out for a culture regardless of what the urine test usually shows.

Hope you feel better!

23mos old is a great age .. little person beginning to shine thru!

Have you been tested for diabetes?  Are you on a diuretic (water pill), or a blood pressure medication with a diuretic in it? If you are taking it in the evening, that could cause you to pee all night.

See if you don't have a urinary infection.
