[QUOTE="John O'Connor, post: 37631, member: 13064"] Chris his latest blood work was from 3/1/16, and he was put on 50mcg Synthroid after that. As of post #14 on this thread (4/8/16) he states he has been taking it for 3 weeks. So at this point he has taken it for a total of 4 weeks. NSM - here is a good (long) explanation of why its preferred that you wait until after your blood draw to take your Synthroid. Either way its not a big deal, with Synthroid (aka T4) but the preference is to not take it just before the blood is drawn. Synthroid is simply T4, other versions of thyroid medicine have both T4 and T3 (the more active form of thyroid hormone). The article explains everything in detail, but essentially the highlights are below: [url]http://drcherylkasdorf.com/2015/08/10/meds-before-test/[/url] "[h=2]The Bottom Line In most cases, more accurate tests result when the thyroid hormone medication is taken after the thyroid test, not before."[/b]"It seems the best is getting your thyroid function tests done first thing in the morning, bringing your medications with you, and taking them right [B][I]after [/I][/B]you have your thyroid function tests to ensure that you get accurate test results."
