Was test done as recommended

Day before test did you split T3 as 3 smaller doses, with last 20mcg dose approx 8-12 hours before test

When were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 last tested

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Hi

Yes I took 1/2 a 20 mcg T3 the day before the test but the day before that I didnt take my T3 . I couldn’t remember if I should have taken the full dose or not so I didn’t take any .

I do take Spirulina

Vit D3 & calcium for osteoporosis

I get all the B vits from Spirulina

That’s all I take

Thanks

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Well that’s useless

Day before test you should take your full normal dose of T3

But split it

So for example 30mcg waking, 20mcg mid afternoon and 20mcg at 9pm (assuming test was 9am next morning)

T3 only stays measurable in blood approx 12 hours

I’ll do that in future . I’ll probably get recalled for the test anyway now .

You need to actually test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at least once a year

Monitor My Health also now offer thyroid and vitamin testing, plus cholesterol and HBA1C for £65

Hi SlowDragon,

The price of the NHS vitamin D test has now increased to £31.

Just letting you know.

Don't know the reference intervals for your blood test but your fT3 looks very low if you are taking 70 mcg liothyronine. Did you leave too long between your last dose and taking the blood?

[Hidden in reply to jimh111]

Thanks , I didn’t get the reference ranges it was over the phone .

I’ll be getting a letter I’ve been told
