Help and advice please
I spoke to worker in Holland & Barrett who recommended
Biotin
5000 tablets along with iron. I have also been using Stemgrow Trichology shampoo and conditioner. I’ve also upped my exercise to try and focus on something other than my hair.

Are these results reliable considering that I did not cease taking B complex a week before the blood test?
Question is: are these results reliable enough (considering the
biotin
issue that can shew results) to warrant either an increase or decrease of either levo or NDT? Based on the numbers what thyroid medication should i increase or decrease? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Methotrexate 6weeks on
My folic acid has been increased to 6 x week and I have been told I can take
Biotin
as it will not affect blood results. Specialist Nurse contacted the consultant and pharmacist to confirm. So I’ve started on that. Now moved onto monthly bloods instead of fortnightly. I’ll keep you posted.

Multivitamins and minerals
Other possible solutions: nutrition, I eat very well.. problem I drink too much alcohol, one site suggested alcohol can interfere with absorption of
Biotin
, solution stop drinking alcohol which I can't do because when I stop alcohol I get too stressed.

Thoughts on my blood results
I stopped all my supplements 9 days before test to ensure
Biotin
etc did not affect results and my bloods were taken 8am before breakfast and morning thyroxine dose (150mcg,wt75kg) Last dose was 6am previous day. Would appreciate your thoughts Thank you in advance

How to prepare for private blood test.
It says I need to stop taking B12, two weeks before taking the test and
biotin
, two days before. I knew about the
biotin
(I thought that was 8 days prior, not sure where I got that from).

Hair loss!
This contains
Biotin
and Iron, amongst other things. Looking at my most recent Medichecks blood test, my Ferritin was 136 (13-150) and Folate Serum 13.3 (2.9-14.5). Now I’m not sure if the Florisene is suitable.

Feel like I’m on a bit of elastic…..
So I have about her test done this time only stopping levo a day before and having the test done before 9am on an empty stomach (
biotin
was stopped a week before testing) and these are the results. The Dr called to discuss them and said the reading is fine you don’t need an increase.

Is biotin the only thing that should be avoided prior to a thyroid hormone test?
Aside from Levo and T3 24 hours beforehand.

Dose increase advice
My test was taken at 6am, 24 hours after last dose, no
biotin
for seven days and only water to drink. I've been gluten free for a couple of years and I went dairy free a few months ago.

Latest results and comparisons.
I don't understand why ft4 has gone over range as stopped any
biotin
containing supplements 2 weeks before blood test and have been on same dose of levo 100mcg, (with a small blip for a few days in September), since around May. Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
