Thanks for the input everyone! I am also concerned because I am still having nervousness, would this be because my dose is low or high or what?
I also fast before labs and have them done at roughly 8.30-9am every time.
Consistancy is the key and yes...fasting and not fasting can give an inconsistant result.
So always fast before labs.
when I do blood tests I always fast and don't take the med that morning but after the blood test !!
feel well !
That leads me to the post above .. if I fast but do NOT take my Synthroid that morning before my bloodwork will that affect my TSH results. I've been on Synthroid for 2.5ysr and at this particular dose for 6 weeks. Thought you may know .. thanks

OH .. my apologies .. you are so correct .. they are one in the same. I misread the orig. post as 175mcg's per day ... I guess I got so worried for the member's health on that dosing that I missed you calculated the daily into a weekly dose :)
Sorry -

what is the difference between 25 mcg/day and 175 mcg/week ??
the correct way is to say per week !
I think she is on 25mcg's not 175mcg/week ?
you should fast for 14 hours before the blood test, and drinking too much water !
the result when fasting is the true one !
175 mcg/week is not too low dose ,it's an initial dose !
Ok, thanks, I'm new to this and figured that was just wishful thinking!
hi,
fasting has no impact on results. Yes, such a low dose could normalise your results. regular monitoring will still be required.
