draws.

Probalby too late to help much, but I don't think water would be an issue.

It would probalby be helpful in drawing blood. Being dehydrated makes it

harder to get a vein. Can't really help witht hemeds bit though. I would

think the nighttime dose would be fine.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright

I take thhyroid as usual the day before testing even the bedtime dose. I

do nto take it in the Am. You can drink water before any test, even a

fasting one.

Hmmmm..... last time I did that, val -- my levels were WAAAYYYYY over

range. It had only been 8-9 hours since my dose and I scared the

heebie-jeebies out of myself and my doctor.

We retested a few months later, and I made sure my last dose was taken

a bit earlier -- about 15 hours and my levels showed I still needed to

come up in dose a bit.

Stating this, how many hours do you think is necessary between the

last dose and the blood draw?

My labs I take my last dose around 9-10 PM have bllod drawn between 8-9

AM and it is fine. I have done that with both Armoru and T3. Maybe your

thyroid WAS too hgh.

Hi all,

Since I didn't think to ask last night until too late, I did go ahead

and take my bedtime T3 at 9:40 pm. Blood draw was at 7 am. Thanks for

all the answers, though. I did have water, don't know why I can't

remember it is ok. I could not have lasted that long with no water.

This isn't a test for any of the frees, it will only have TSH. So I hope

ok. And the rest of a regular blood panel, glucose, electrolytes,

lipids, kidney and liver, etc. Hemogram, but probably not ferritin,

nobody seemed to know about that.

I wish I had done this health fair blood test instead of the ones I had

done in Jan, which cost me a fortune, since I had not met my deductible.

This health fair blood panel is only $73. Out of pocket, but still think

it is worth it.

I guess that is possible; because of the high results, I did scale

back the dose by half a grain -- but it was seriously high at those

labs.... the ones done recently were in range but not quite there yet.

Thanks for the reply.
