Medication

I forgot to take my medication at 5am, i take 9:30am today, I wake up 8am and drink a lot of water but I didn't know that I miss one to take my hypothyroid pills.
But I'm not yet taking my breakfast still empty stomach I only drink water

I take my medication late is that okey? Only one day hoping it won't affect.

I have missed a dose before, but I never felt the difference. I would not think that missing one dose or even two in a row (I have done before), would make a difference.

However, everyone's body reacts different to medication.

Hey Paus,  I put them by my bed in an eggcup with a big glass of water.  Even if I wake really early in the morning and take them, i know I've had them if the water and tablets are gone :).   I've never missed a dose since doing that and even take my smiley face eggcup with me on holiday lol!!

Since you are taking T4 meds, that won't be a problem.  How are you feeling?
