that should do just fine...that'll give you a really accurate picture of what

is floating around in your blood. I took a blood test two hours after taking

my afternoon dose of armour (having taken a morning dose too) and the endo

got very upset telling me i was hyper and to reduce my dosage. i didn't...i

take even more now...and know now to not take armour for 24 hours before the

test.

But aren't they all?

I have a quick question. I'm having my blood drawn tomorrow. I know that I

shouldn't eat before it's drawn because I'm having a glucose done, but what

about the thyroid? Do I take my Armour in the morning as usual or wait until

after my blood's drawn. In other words, if my blood is taken right after I take

the Armour, would the results of my blood work be altered from the surge of

Armour in my system?

Thanks,

Thanks, I'm glad I asked and got such a quick response. I took my dose this

morning, but I won't take any more today.

yes..it'll show high T3...and really won't give you a accurate picture of

your thyroid hormone levels. It's recomended not to take your Armour for 24

hours before having blood drawn for thyroid labs.
