Hi all I'm soon to have a full thyriodectomy then RAI - due to having Follicular Cancer. I was wondering is their a home Thyroid Blood testing kit that anyone can recommend ?. so that if I feel that if my levels are low etc I can check them at home.

Many Thanks

Rachel :-)

Blue Horizon do pin prick tests which you have to post off. The link is on the main thyroid UK site.

Yes do blue Horizon. I was too much of a wuss to do the finger prick test though recently. I am waiting to book to have bloods taken at a BMI hospital. They have a great customer service team.

I've used Blue Horizon finger prick tests several times over the past few years. There are other labs on the TUK list but Ive found BH fingerpick tests very fast and easy to use. They are an accredited lab and I can't recommend them highly enough.
