Your doctor may not run all the thyroid tests you want – you want to make sure that TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 are done at the very least. Most patients benefit from being highly involved in their thyroid care and treatment, which is where self-testing and the ability to order your own tests can be critical tools for empowering a patient.

This list has been compiled from thyroid patients who have told me where they order their own tests from.

Please note that any places included in this list are not necessarily endorsed or recommended by myself.

I found ElevateMe (for UK) to be really helpful too. They offer a thyroid test panel as part of their home blood test kit. Plus you get a customised action plan.

This is such a useful directory of places people can try because so many people aren’t aware the service is available in their country or who to turn to for reliable testing!
