thanks for your reply much appreciated, alway leave vitamins off for several days before, take my thyroxine dose after my blood test. Unfortunately my blood draw was not as early as I would have liked due to time of my appointment with the endocrinologist. Went straight for bloods after I had seen her. With it being private she sent me for bloods the same day. Have lower back problems also. Which results in neuropathy of the feet. Need to up my B12 and vitamin d. Waiting as I say for biopsies after my scans to find out what happens next. First scans of thyroid except for CT scan when it was first discovered that’s why i had further tests. Only take vitamin D about twice a week. Have upped that to once or twice a day, use a vitamin spray rather than tablets one which is recommended on this site. Take
