TSH test

For those of you taking levo at night, do you skip the dose when you're having blood taken the next morning?

I've read lots about leaving 24 hours, but it would be more like 32 hours skipping an evening dose.

Pinklady, yes it will be 32 hours as you dose at night. You can take your missed dose immediately after the blood draw, don't worry about not eating or drinking within an hour on that occasion, and take your normal bedtime dose as usual.

Thanks, it's exactly what I did last time & hoped it was right as due back for blood test in a fortnight.

I never take anything within 24 hours of a blood test and have been known to put off blood tests if they are last minute!
