Testing vs. Taking Thyroid Hormones

[Guest guest]

I know folks who do not take their thyroid hormone replacements for a few days

before the test because they do not want their physician to cut back on the meds

because the TSH is over suppressed.

This is reasonable, when you need and are taking T3 because, this requirement

indicates a post thyroid deficiency that reduces the connection between TSH and

the reality of body functionality. Nonetheless, TSH is the gold standard,

however mistaken that notion is.

Have a great day,
