Before considering booking any consultation we always recommend getting FULL thyroid and vitamin testing done

Are you currently on 125mcg daily or 112.5mcg daily

Do you always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

After RAI very common to need addition of T3 prescribed alongside

Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and before eating or drinking anything other than water and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

On T3 or NDT - day before test split daily dose into 3 smaller doses, spread through the day at approx 8 hour intervals, taking last dose 8-12 hours before test

This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)

Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or all relevant vitamins
