T3 Testing

[Florie]

I am to have a blood test on Tuesday (fasting) for T3 levels as I take Cytomel. Should I take my morning dose before the test? I would be grateful for any advice

Thanks Florie

Hi , No take it afterwards.Any thyroid meds or Beta Blockers give a false reading, vets know this, often docs do not!

Best wishes,

Jackie

Love that Jackie. Not the first time I've wished I were a dog.

Vets have known this for years, I used to keep telling my GP, she did not appreciate it!

Thank you so much ladies I won't take my meds until afterwards.
