Hi and a Happy New Year !! Just a quick question I've been on Combo 75 Levo and 10mcg once a day since 15th Nov due to see Endo again in middle of Feb do I have to get blood test done by my GP.to check after 6 weeks? Or do I just wait till my appointment date 20th Feb when Endo has asked for Tft4 and a UE Electrolytes test only before I see him

I'd get a blood test after six weeks. Post for comments on a new question, the results and ranges. When I had Hospital Endo visit, they also took bloods if necessary and phoned me at home to increase/decrease.

Momo1948,

1 week before your consultation should be sufficient for FT4 and U&E.
