A member asked:
I took my hypothyroidism medication while fasting for a blood test, would that make my levels good resulting in being taken off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: In fact, it may even raise your blood cholesterol level. Why you would want to skip an important medication to scam on a test results is beyond me however.
