Optimum time for T3

Hi everyone

Is there an optimum time for taking T3? At the moment I take it with my Levo an hour before getting up in the morning.

That's seems perfect. You then have an ordinary day without the need to worry about dosing.

Keep a note of any symptoms you have and then after your next blood test you can increase T3 slightly.

Thanks for your reply.

I’ll continue as I am. Looking to have bloods done in around a month.

That's good, just remember to get the earliest appointment and allow a 24 hour gap between your last combination dose and the test and take it afterwards.

I'm doing it with medickecks at home so will remember that. Thanks.

Make sure you are also well-hydrated today so that blood will draw more easily and that arms are also warm. If you need any hints on how to do pin-prick tests, put up a new post and you should get some responses.
