It can skew the blood test results and might cause your hormones to be reduced unnecessarily. That's why we also recommended as early as possible test as TSH is higher then and drops throughout the day.
Because it gives a false reading, blood tests only reveal whats in the bloodstream not whether it is working.
Not what you're looking for?
