ThyroScreen™ is a home diagnostic test for hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) in adults.
The test identifies raised levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and it controls the amount of the hormone thyroxine produced by the thyroid gland. TSH levels increase when thyroxine levels are too low. A raised TSH level therefore indicates an underactive thyroid and is regarded as the most important and sensitive test for hypothyroidism.

Prompt delivery, clear instructions, I laid everything out and looked at it first. I would only have used the one needle had my blood been a bit quicker coming out but it coagulated so fast I had to use the 2nd one and even then only had just enough on the screen. I waited the exact amount of time and the results were obvious. I would recommend this product to a friend definitely, if they felt they needed such a thing.

Such an easy kit to use with very straightforward instructions. Asked my husband to help with the gadget for pricking my finger as I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to pain/needles/blood, etc but I needn't have worried as it was fine and the thought of it beforehand was far worse than the pin-prick itself which was practically painless. Extremely easy to see the result and saved myself a visit to the doctor who would have taken a full blood sample to do the same test with a long wait for results whereas this test takes 10 minutes - brilliant! Even better was that I didn't pay full price as the product was on special offer.

The whole procedure was done and dusted in a maximum of 15 mins from opening so I give this kit a 10/10 .

I have a serious needle phobia so when my doctor said she would like me to have a blood test to rule out an underactive thyroid I was very worried. Then I found this test - a lifesaver! Admittedly I made a mess of drawing the blood myself but the nurse at my GP practice was very happy to do it for me. It was quick, easy, painless and gave me a clear result (thankfully negative). The company were very helpful in sending out extra lancets and pipettes quickly. The service was really excellent. So glad I found this test and I'd highly recommend it to anyone else.

Saved me the hassle of a consultation and blood test. I could quickly see whether I was likely to be hypothyroid or not.
Better to have a second person to help you if you can, as I found it a bit difficult to squeeze enough blood out on the first go (a third hand would have been useful!), but hubby, who is DM2 and therefore an expert at extracting enough blood for a sample, managed on the second attempt!

I have CFS/ME but someone suggested I also check my thyroid function. GP tested and all was fine but NHS tests are inadequate. I bought this as it says it does give a good indication of whether you have thyroid issues. Test is a little tricky to get the blood in the pipette but once you have enough to use is fairly easy after that. Happy to say mine was indeed clear as I suspected but worth the money for piece of mind and one more thing ruled out

I found the ThyroScreen relatively easy to use. Be careful to read the instructions clearly on using the finger prick lancet though, as I must have done it wrong the first time, but fortunately the test comes with two lancets. My test was negative, but I was happy the ThyroScreen kit arrived the following day, as my mind was put at rest, without having to wait weeks going through my GP. I would highly recommend purchasing the ThyroScreen.

I'd been tested for low thyroid function by my GP a year ago, which was negative. However, I continued to feel that I had many of the symptoms, but didn't feel comfortable with asking the GP for another test so soon. I thought this selt-test would be an ideal way to check whether there had been any change, before going back to the doc if necessary. The test arrived quickly, was of an excellent quality and perfectly easy to carry out, with foolproof instructions. As it turned out, the test was negative, but I was pleased that I had found this out so quickly and easily at home, without a needless trip back to the doc. An inexpensive way to put your mind at ease!

I was impressed with the speed of delivery - it arrived the very next day after ordering. After spreading all the contents of the kit onto the table, initially it all looked a little confusing but after reading through the information leaflet a couple of times it all became clear. It was fairly easy to use although in my opinion it is easier if someone helps you - one to operate the lancet and squeeze the finger and one to hold the micropipette. You also need to ensure that you press the lancet very firmly against your finger before deploying the needle. Make sure you have a watch / clock with a second hand ready to exactly time the test. I was pleased to get a negative result which put my mind at rest.

It is difficult for me to comment on the effectiveness of the test because it indicated my thyroid was normal when a subsequent test at the doctors said it was under. I am not saying it can't be accurate but unfortunately for me it wasn't. I suppose you could use it as a first line but if symptoms continue anyway see your doctor.
