Is there anyway to get my throid checked with out having a blood test...maybe from my hair strand?

does anyone know how many ways there is to check my thyroid gland ...is a blood test the only way or can it be done with a piece of my hair?

I'm not sure about any other ways, but a blood test shows the most accuracy when determining something like this. =)

Nope, unfortunately a blood test is the only way... I am terrified of them and put it off for a year but finally got it done the other day.......... if you hate needles like i do then let them know, they will most likely have a more experienced nurse do it so you fele more comfortable(+they wont have to poke u a bunch of times to find a vein..eew)



but it wasnt nearly as bad as i thought! i just didnt look. tell them blood tests make you weak, and they'll give you a juice haha

It is done with a blood test. They are checking for hormone levels in your blood. If you do have a thyroid problem you will need to go for many blood tests.



I had a fear of needles, they needed two nurses to hold me down when I was a child. As adult I have given blood a lot but I still have anxiety about it, I do it because it needs to be done. Only thing I can suggest it maybe to see if doctor can give you a pill to relax you.
