If your surgery operates in the same way that mine does, you'll not get a repeat prescription issued if your blood test is overdue. So you probably should chase it up :)

Hi Never miss a blood test for thyroid, phone and rebook. GP`s do not do enough tests so each one is vital.

Best wishes,

Please don't take any meds the day of the blood test until AFTER you've had the test done. It will give a false high reading and they might want to drop your meds.
