What's new pussycat? Sorry couldn't resist. 🐱 For us to help, you need to give the ranges as well as your results. Meow

all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am, only drink water between waking and test and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

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

What are you currently taking, just levothyroxine

Which brand and how much

what vitamin supplements are you taking

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

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