Always have thyroid blood tests done as early as possible in the morning (no later than 8.30-9.00), fast overnight (you can have water), and leave off Levo for 24 hours (12 hours for T3 if taken).

There's no guarantee that an NHS doctor will accept them but it might be possible to use them as a lever for them to do their own.
