Experiences with

Biaxin

Thank You In Advance For The Wonderful Members.I'm going to my Dr and have an afternoon appointment. That is the only time I can have an appointment and he draws the labs. My question is when to stop my Levothyroxine before my Wednesday afternoon appointment about 3pm? I stopped my B-Complex and the

I have read recently that Niacin is beneficial for PD. I have also read it is not good for PD. Can anyone speak to their experience with Niacin?

I have been wondering about Vit B and my thyroid tests. It seems that opinions vary on how long before a thyroid blood test you should stop B vits with Biotin, it seems to vary from 2-7 days. I read somewhere the Biotin can lower or raise FT3. If thats the case then stopping B vits at 2 days or 5 days

i have lost lot of hair despite taking Biotin. I am on 50 mcg of synthroid. Endo doesn’t think hair loss is due to thyroid.. Anyone else have hair loss issues?

How long before labs to stop B Complex Solgar-50 which contains D-biotin 50mcg and does it make much difference. I suspect this question has been asked a Zillion times but on googling there are various answers from 2 days to a week thanks

Hi, 😊I am getting back on track with my NDT after a recent upset and have ordered a Medichecks Active B12 test as I have never had this tested.(My recent follate results were high but within normal range and I have read this may be a sign of problems with B12??) It says to stop B supplements for 2 weeks

I was diagnosed in 2012 with Hashi's Hypothyroidism and struggled for over a decade to get an Endo who would work with my persistent low FT3. Unfortunately, my (sharp young bright female) Endo who understood that a low TSH is normal with combination therapy has moved away. I have been given to new young

Hello, I ordered some Biotin supplement after seeing it recommended here. I notice it contains zinc. I have seen somewhere that prednisolone can react with zinc. Is this correct please?

Hi, My latest blood tests show iron near the top of the range, and tsat% over-range. I've stopped iron and vitamin C supplements for fear I poison myself ! I'd only been supplementing iron 5 weeks since end of Dec 24, 20mg of iron bisglycinate every 2-3 days, sometimes not at all. I was trying to see

I started on Liothyronine only in April 2024 at 2 1/2mcg per day and have been slowly increasing since then. I have been on the current dose of 22 1/2mcg AM and 2 1/2mcg PM for approx 6 weeks but am going downhill again for the last couple of weeks. I managed to achieve 6-7 out of 10 for life quality

Hi all, can anyone clarify. I know biotin affects blood results for thyroid tests. Can I take Vit b supplements containing biotin during taking levothyroxine? Do i need to take biotin? What B vitamins are most important to take? Can anyone recommend a good brand with no fillers or crap in them?

A fairly common observation of those taking the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib is that their hair can become curly or straight, or much more annoyingly, their nails can become brittle, so that they crack and become painful. [u]Many have reported good results from taking biotin[/u]. (f you do take biotin, it

Very quick question. I’m planning to do a medichecks test soon and take numerous supplements including igennus super b complex. I’m aware that biotin can affect the results. Do I need to stop the super b complex prior to testing?

I have been on acalabrutinib for almost two years and I am beginning to think I could be the poster child for side effects. My hair is very brittle and breaking off and my nails seem to be disintegrating. They split down the middle and then peel in layers. I already take 10,000 biotin once a day and

Hi all, Just a quick question, how long do I need to stop taking biotin (B Complex tablets) before blood test for TSH, FT4 and hopefully FT3? I have a test booked for Wednesday 8.30 am and stupidly forgot to stop taking my B Complex. Is five days enough or should I delay blood test for a couple of

Looking for advice, any help / steers will be most gratefully received. Health wise, I've had a rough few month’s with new symptoms creeping in that may or may not be hypothyroid related?! My current Liothyronine dosage is 20 morning (circa 0630), 20 lunchtime (1200) and 10 early evening (1700).

About a year ago I started using the concept of plateauing in that when symptoms stopped improving I considered that plateauing and rejected that meant I could only wait and changed my supplementation regime. With experience I was able to discern that healing was slowing and I would change my supplementation

Hello this is my first post here so I apologise if I do anything wrong. I am currently 10 weeks pregnant and on 50mg levothyroxine 5x a week and 75mg 2 times a week. I was prescribed this for subclinical hypothyroidism by my IVF clinic. Now I'm 10 weeks pregnant and with the NHS. I didn't realise that
