This question has probably been asked a zillion times but I've received my blood taking kit today and wondered if I'm best to take my sample before breakfast tomorrow please?

Take it early in the morning, having had nothing except water to eat or drink, and a gap of 24 hours from your previous dose of levo (and 8 - 12 hours away from taking lio).

If it's your first time, look at some of SeasideSusie 's recent replies on how best to do it.

Good luck x

Hi, I did finger prick test for thyroid and vitamins..... I took the samples before eating and no thyroid medication for 24 hours prior.

Hopefully you get on ok
