Blood test help

[Josie2]

Sorry for another question. I’ve got an appointment for this morning for blood test for thyroid. Is there anything specific I need to ask for?

I might be too late. I hope so because you need to have the test first thing in the morning without having eaten anything. Just water to drink. Is this an NHS test? If so it’s doubly important as they only look at the TSH reading which is affected by food & the time of day. Sorry nobody picked up your question yesterday.
