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?

Thanks for posting that--will go and look it up. Might be cheaper than frequent dr. visits over the years?
