Many thanks! I wondered about the process for making the bison capsules when one of the ones I purchased appeared to have residue inside it (perhaps left over from the manufacturing process). Stainless steel sounds like it might do the trick.<br><br>Stressing about needed medication can be very distracting. In my case, I no longer have a thyroid (bad news) but I also no longer have cancer (good news). From what I have found out, I could probably go 3 weeks or more without my medicine before I would croak but life would be really uncomfortable long before then. I'm not worried about a long term loss of supply but skipping a couple of days of medication does adversely affect me so I always try to keep some extra pills around (mainly for when I forget to take one). I'll spread some capsules around in my BOB and PSK as well as one on a key ring for every day use. Replenishing with fresh medicine will be no problem.<br><br>
