All blood tests for thyroid hormones should be at the very earliest possible with a gap of 24 hours approx between last dose and test and take afterwards.

Get a print-out of your results with the ranges and post them for comments.

Request a new test and also include B12, Vit D, iron, ferritin and folate if you've not had them tested and ask for TSH, T4, T3, Free T4 and Free T3 and antibodies. GP may not do all of them but we have private labs which will do the ones he wont. Sometimes it is the lab who makes the decision, especially if some are 'in range'.

Levo should always be taken on an empty stomach with one full glass of water and wait about an hour before eating. Food interferes with the uptake of the hormones.

Always get a print-out of your results with the ranges for your own records.
