Blood work before or after Armour in AM

Hi,

I am picking up lab slip to have thyroid level checked for 1st time after starting armour around January 23rd. Since T3 is short, fast acting, I want to make sure I have blood drawn at proper time. My doctors office doesn't seem to have a clue.  So if anyone has information as to when it is best to do blood work when ON ARMOUR, please let me know.

I had only taken T4 Synthroid prior, so I am anxious to see results.

Thanks for responding, Kimemitch

AM draw - fasting is best - no meds prior to testing.

If you take meds early in am - right after test - take your first dose and then take the others at the same time.

Try to get the first early appt available.
