Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Hi , first, I heartily agree with your sentiments re hypo vs. hyper. Another reason I hate the RAI pushers so... I have a little blue pill cutter but find it doesn't work real well for the Tap pills. Maybe mine's dull or something. I do have a very sharp ceramic knife (kayocera) that I use that's the best thing I've found.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Excellent! You have a cooperative doc. And seems you are responding well to the meds. Now just need to stabilize at a good point for you. Good job with the pill splitting. I may even have the same splitter as you. I was taking 1/8 slices when trying to divide 25mg in thirds, but decided to be brave and take the 1/4 twice a day. :-) Have a good night, At 09:17 PM 9/14/2003, you wrote: >And I've already told him I would want antibodies checked before I would >consider stopping the meds Alison, even if I am in the " normal " range. >Even told him why.
