Ballew & listers,
Thank you for your reply.  Interesting, the soft palette suggestion.
(Since I am taking it in bed and trying NOT to wake up too much, I
believe my half-tablet gets stuck first there anyway, then I swallow
some more water and then it goes down!)

Because I have to take cortisol  replacement doses of steroids, I
usually have been advised to spread out my calcium, etc. throughout the
day.  I do take the larger dose of calcium in the evening, as you
suggest.  Perhaps I can also take some at mid-day.  That would be 7
hours after my morning synthroid dose at 5:30 AM.  Should be ok, right?

regards
Holly

ps-- an addisonian friend just emailed me that, when she started
synthroid, much of her hair fell out!!  and then grew back again, of
course....  I didn't know that could happen...  yikes!
