I'm going to have thyroid labs done, including testing thyroid

antibodies, also serum cortisol. I'm taking HC and Armour...do I need

to do anything different before the blood draw? Also, my doc doens't

think I need the aldosterone test...if I can talk him into it, is it a

good/valid serum test?

Also, I had TIBC (was 23%)and ferritin done 3 months ago and ferritin

was 16 which is not technically low ( I know it IS low)...and i'm

wondering if insurance is likely to cover it if I do it again so soon

given it was not low in their view. Anyone have trouble doing labs on

ferritin every 3 months and getting coverage? ( i know it's a general

question and everyone's insurance is different!) It's a $90 test

though if it's not covered!

thanks,

Liz

The free T3 test is the onyl one you needot fast tyroid for and I would not take

any HC before a cortisol blood draw,.
