Newbie to this group (hello!), iron overload and possible PA question :/
(Note I followed all the usual thyroid testi G advice - the test was at 8am, 24hrs before my 100mg levo, no
biotin
2 weeks before). TSH came out at 0.86 mu/L (0.2 - 4.0) - although that is not what I'm discussing in this post, just fyi.

Supplements for hair loss
Biotin
, for example, does not increase growth or stop loss, but it does strenghthen the hair that does grow. https://www.mdedge.com/dermatology/article/259975/hair-nails/review-gives-weight-supplements-hair-loss?ecd=WNL_eve_221210_mdedge

Should I take my Thyroid meds before or after a Synacthen Test?
Also, I’ve been taking all my other supplements and my B12 has
biotin
in it, is that okay? Thanks

I have experienced worsening hair loss since last year
I am eking out all B vitamins, & only supplement not now taken is
Biotin
, as I had skewed blood tests from it before, so was wary of taking it when random sudden blood tests were ordered.

Gradual but significant hair loss/thinning with SLE, any help or advice would be amazing!
I've been taking
biotin
supplements, using Essynaturals Hair Growth Oil and Nioxin shampoo (though I've just switched to Olaplex). I've even had tape hair extensions put in as my thinning hair has been getting me down so much.

t3 timing before blood test.
I have understood staging Levothyroxine before blood tests and stopping all
biotin
intake the week before, and early morning blood test. I am new to T3, does this need to be moderated before a blood test? Thank you.

Daughters results after altering her dose.
So she had restarted her 100mcg. for two days but then did not take it for 36 hours before doing the blood test, also as she is taking
biotin
and only decided to do the test last minute she did not stop it before the test.

Giving up supplements prior to Medichecks Advanced thyroid blood test 4 days from now
I am registered with Country Health and they recommend only 2 days without supplements and I think they mostly mention
Biotin
(which I do not take) so I'm pretty confused.

Test results: what is going on? Longish post and history
Did not take anything for a week because of the
biotin
. So this is not fantastic and I'll need to take B12 separately. Did not do vitamin D because I am taking the same amount as ever and previous results were 108 and 112.... nmol/l.

t3 Pros and cons
No
biotin
, fasting bloods. Taking b complex, iron, pro biotic and vit D, COQ10. Any help would be much appreciated! I have tried cutting my 9.5mcg t3 dose to just 5mcg )split) through the day. But it isn’t enough to make me feel well.

Recently had thyroid blood test and forgot to stop multi vitamin. It has 14 ug in it. How will this skew my results please? Do I need to do another blood test. Usually my TSH is very low. Sometimes T4 is just over range. So was checking these.

Being anxious about Hypothyroidism
After 7 or 8 weeks I had further tests (obeyed instructions, early in morning, nothing except water, no
biotin
) and my results showed I was eu-thyroid - I was "normal". I am now waiting to go for further blood tests after now about 4-5 months.
