Advanced Thyroid test

[Indigourchin]

Hi

I was preparing to take the test tomorrow morning, but now have either strained a muscle or might be getting a slight case of Gout, i think the advice has been if you have a virus/infection wait to do the blood test, what do you think should I wait or go ahead? I rang the blood test provider but they didn't have any advice

Thanks so much

I’ve found that even a slight infection can affect my CRP and ferritin, so I personally would wait until your symptoms have passed before completing the blood draw.

Thank you , very kind of you to respond

But neither a strained muscle nor gout are caused by a virus...

Thanks Greygoose, I realised the instant after I'd posted that I had worded it in a misleading manner!! (LOL) however I suppose gout is some type of inflammation and wondered if that would have an effect. Anyway i think I'll give it a few days, I'm all kitted out with Jarrow Folate etcetera and have changed my Magnolia Rhodiola for a similar preparation with no B vitamins, given up the melatonin which also had Vitamin B and hope for an accurate outcome next week! Thanks
