Blood test query

[Pinkpeony]

I am having a thyroid blood panel done on April 2nd.

I take my Levo at night ,so when do I take the last dose . If I take it the night before it will be 11 hours as the test is 9.15.

If I make it the day before that it will be 35 hours. Is this too long to get an accurate reading?

Thanks in advance

The usual advice given on this forum for people who take levo at night is to take none the day before the test, and then take two doses on the day of the blood draw - the first dose immediately after the blood is taken, and the second dose at night as usual.

This double dosing won't do any harm. I've read about some people who only take levo once a week - which I find amazing!

Would that count for the thyroid 24 hour urine test too? I've had a complete mental block about this, so I'm very glad Pinkpeony has posted this query!

My doc's advice was, 'stop your thyroid and adrenal medication the day before'. Now that the test kit has arrived I'm suddenly unsure. Does that mean none the day before I start the 24hr test, as well as none on the test day? Possibly my own query belongs in the Department of Daft Questions. :$

Hillwoman, I think it means leave 24 hours between last dose and urine test.

Thanks, Clutter. I'm so mentally fuddled at present I can't seem to work out all kinds of quite straightforward things...

Hillwoman, horrible innit Really makes you lose confidence in yourself and your decisions.
