I’ve just got my thyroid results back from a blood test I had yesterday, I have a lump near my scar from when I had a thyriodactomy about 36yrs ago. When I had the blood test I had my 150mg of levothyroxine. The test has come back normal. Results attached

results
If you took your levothyroxine before the test this gives false high Ft4 result
Free T4 (fT4) 16.1 pmol/L (11 - 23) 42.5%
Your Ft4 is 42% through range in this test
If you had tested correctly with last dose Levo 24 hours back test Ft4 would have been even lower
How do you feel
For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 tested
Very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at least once year minimum
When were vitamin levels last tested
What vitamin supplements are you taking
What was reason for thyroidectomy?
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)
Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or all relevant vitamins

I had a thyroidectomy because I had a large neck lump and overactive.
