Check TSH at home??

[stella5349]

Is there any kind of way a thyroid patient can check their levels at home periodically? You know like diabetics do?

I am certain we can't draw our blood - but is there a panel we can use?

Me too, I shake when nervous--there would be all sort of jags.

You're crazy today. Feel'n hyper?? Looking back at my threads on this post I hate to imagine myself holding that knife. I can't seem get my fingers to type words correctly today.

There is supposedly a new test for bed-side use for doctors offices/hospitals. I don't know if it approved yet, but it only tells if the TSH is over or under a 5!! Not too helpful and not available for home use as of now.
Maybe some day.....

If they ever come up with a thyrometer, I'd buy a hundred for sure. LOL!!

And yeah, I saw the commercial.

"um, aren't YOU supposed to be doing this?"

I don't think I'll be trying that anytime soon... :/
