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?

Posted last week. I am due to have vascular surgery in a few weeks - lost the ability to walk - major blockages in both groins. Lo and behold, the GP now wants to see me regarding thyroid levels. I am nearly 72 now! I have been taking thyroid-S for years - no problems, but I think I would like to try

Got to have Vascular surgery in the next few weeks. Bloods showed up that T3 and T4 were out of kilter. I don't think I have been taking enough (Thyroid - S) I have now increased the dose - Do we think that will do the job or do I need something else to boost things along?

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

A slightly late Happy New Year everyone. I hope you are well and keeping out of trouble 😄 I've seen and read a fair few posts here related to hair loss, and have myself suffered from hair loss since starting my Belimumab infusions. Prior to the infusions, I had strong, thick hair, but since the

Hi, I am wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how long it took for them to get a period after stopping triptorelin and HRT? Thanks in advance.

Hi I seem to have an ongoing problem with blocked sinuses / post nasal drip. I came across "Sinus massage" yesterday which seems to have shifted things a bit, but I am wondering if anyone has a tried and tested remedy other than Vicks and head over a bowl of hot water. The only time I have had a really

hi again my doctor lowered my thyroxine from 200 mg to 150 mg that was 5 weeks ago I’ve also been taking high strength biotin with zinc and selenium for about a week but twice now my eyes have swelled on the lids and underneath very red and itchy could this possibly be the biotin I’m fed up was just

Hello, could you tell me how many days before having a blood test ( TSH, T3, T4) I need to stop taking biotin? I am taking a minimal dosage of 50mcg, but I don't want it to interfere with the test. Thank you

After a couple of very stressful incidents in recent months I have lost a lot more hair than my usual levels. Clumps have thankfully slowly begun growing again, but that is throwing the rest of my hair into disarray - often exposing the areas of loss. A bit drastic, but has anyone cut their hair really

Hi all, I've experienced a lot of hair loss over the past 6 weeks since being issued with crescent pharma 25mcg levothyroxine tablets (previously either teva or wockhardt which I've been OK on). I take 87.5mcg levo daily, so a 50mcg accord tablet, plus 1 and a half 25mcg tablets. Has anyone else experienced

I may be clutching at straws here but I'm wondering whether anyone else has experienced hair loss on the Teva brand of Levothyroxine? My 20 year old daughter has a diagnosis of (secondary) hypothyroidism and takes 10mcg of Liothyronine plus 50/75 mcg of Levo on alternate days. She was very ill when

I’ve now given up using Thyrogold and in sheer desperation ordered a batch of armour and a batch of metative 11. I am up to 4.25 grains of Thyrogold and my TSH increased again? But T3 and T4 marginally improved but to be honest I was taking biotin so that could be a false high. My question is who’s having
