Hi Penny, I would have thought that they don't but maybe there's someone here who has managed to have it done? x

I didn't think they did but Genova do one as part of one of their full thyroid blood tests. Having said that I don't know whether GP's/Endo's will take any notice of that. I have heard that if you have RT3 then you must not take Levo but only T3 as T4 makes it worse.

Not what you're looking for?
