Which now seem to be stable [Knock wood?].
As for osteo and Synthroid? It's a sort of durned if we do, or not kind of thing, isn't it? Hugs - j

.3mg came out with the original patent (this is over 30 yrs ago). What DID come out later in time were the newer doses.
.075 (I think)
.088
.112
.137
.175
What used to be done for those patients needing the inbetween doses is that
skip days were given. Say take .125mg 6 days a week and skip Sunday.
Or .05 daily and 2 on Sunday. Then when the newer in between ones came,
the skip or add on Sunday is not common now at all.
