hi, I had my 25mg levothyroxine increased to 50 but had to cut it back to 25 on one day and 50 the next which I am tolerating.

I am having an nhs blood test next week at 8.40 am. Can I eat breakfast b4 or is it best not to?

Sorry no ☹️ just water before and take your T4 after the test

Also politely request they include testing vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking
