Help with dose and testing please

[hjh88]

I’m arranging tests ahead of an endocrinology appointment but realise I’m not sure how to adjust / time my T3 dose ahead of this.

I take my 40mcg T3 in a single dose at around 9:30-10pm. I’ve tried breaking the dose down but always feel slightly undermedicated. Seems for me at least the saturating myself with it works best!

I’m aware there needs to be an 8hr gap between last split dose and test to prevent a false high but I’m not sure how this works with single higher doses. Do I need to leave a bigger gap or split my all-in-one dose the day before bloods? Or is there a different way entirely! Would appreciate some enlightenment please.

Hi - was looking for the same thing... I know people ask about it all the time, but surprisingly hard to find those posts with the terrible search function on this forum!
