more likely due to heavy handed dose reduction in levothyroxine recently
Test 6-8 weeks after any dose or brand change in levothyroxine
Which brand of levothyroxine are you taking
ALWAYS test thyroid levels 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)
When were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 last tested
What vitamin supplements are you taking
Post all about what time of day to test
