Well as some of you may remember my other post on here, I got my lab results last Friday. Attached an image of them here just for reference. They show my thyroid as being severely underactive.
Seen the nurse practitioner yesterday, I wasn't sure if they would accept my private blood test results but they did and issued a prescription for thyroxine that I can pick up today.
When I seen the nurse practitioner he told me that my thyroid was last checked in February and was fine back then. This was a surprise as I thought it was a little longer ago.
My question is, what if the lab results I got back are an abnormality on the test? what if the bloods somehow got messed up and my thyroid is normal? What would happen if I taken the thyroxine tablets with a normal thyroid?
I'm sure its not and the lab results are right, just anxious about it!
Guess I just want to know what would happen if the lab results was wrong and someone accidentally taken thyroxine when they did not need it.
I tend to get anxious about taking new medication.
Edit forgot to ask, is it okay to crush thyroxine tablets? E.g dissolve it on a tablespoon of water and swallow?
