TAKE YOUR MEDICATION: IF YOU ARE TAKING SYNTHROID THAT MEAN THAT YOUR THYROID FUNCTION IS NOT ADEQUATE, AND YOUR GLAND IS NOT PROVIDING THE PROPER AMOUNT TO YOUR BODY, THYROID HORMONE IS VERY ESSENTIAL TO YOUR BODY FUNCTION, YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR MEDICATION SERIOUSLY AND IN TIME, AND YOUR THYROID FUNCTION MIGHT NEED TO BE CHECKED EVERY 3 MONTHS UNTIL YOUR LEVEL IS BACK TO NORMAL, AND EVERY SIX MONTHS AFTER THAT
