If you’re like most people, you’re constantly on the go. You don’t have time to stop and get your thyroid checked, so you might not be getting the treatment you need. Here are some tips for making thyroid treatment work for you:

1. Make a schedule. Set aside time each week to check your thyroid levels and take your medication. This way, you’ll know what to expect and you’ll be more likely to stick to the plan.

2. Don’t skip doses. If you miss a dose, don’t try to make up for it by taking two doses at once. That can make the medication less effective and increase your risk of side effects.

3. Talk to your doctor. If you have questions about your treatment or if your thyroid levels are high or low, talk to your doctor. He or she can help you figure out the best way to take care of yourself.
