[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2254788, member: 345386"] [USER=330374]@Peppergirl[/USER] - I can't recall if I've put in here anywhere, but when having your bloods done, have them done fasted, as early as you can in the morning. TSH, in particular (but many hormones are circadian to a greater or lesser extent) drops during the day, so it can be unhelpful when trying the be diagnosed, to have bloods done randomly. As a matter of course, all my bloods are drawn, fasted, at 8am, then I know I have conditions as similar as I can achieve, and therefore they are towards a valid comparison form the last, or generally previous lots.
