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
SlowDragon, my apologies for not resubmitting my results as promised. I am quite lethargic and am not getting things done. My GP has agreed to a full testing mid August so shall post both lots of results then. Thank you for your help. My appointment is for 8:50am, the earliest I could get. I will be fasting and will adhere to the recommended schedule for medication. Many thanks.
