[Kowbie]

Thanks for your reply I rang them this morning but they wouldn’t sort anything out over the phone I’ve had to go to a new system anima and do it on there , so it’s the waiting game but thanks again

[Kowbie]

Yes I had to say I’d had private bloods done and they phoned me and told me to get in touch with my dr

[Kowbie]

Thought I’d just let you know just seen the dr and am back on antibiotics and more bloods to be done , I hope your well thanks

Retest thyroid levels again 6 weeks after finishing antibiotics

Antibiotics will affect your thyroid test results

Recommended that 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)

T3 ….day before test split T3 as 2 or 3 smaller doses spread through the day, with last dose approximately 8-12 hours before test

That’s what I had done finished antibiotics left it 2 weeks then had blood test ,I would like to try a little more t3 as it’s still only 4.5 (3.1-6.8) thanks

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Kowbie]

But you are now back on antibiotics as infection not cleared

Testing after 2 weeks is too soon

Wait 6 weeks

[Kowbie in reply to SlowDragon]
