will using shampoo with biotin in it impact my blood tests?
just realised I am using a “biotin and collagen” shampoo. Used it Monday, have full thyroid blood tests due on Thursday. Will this impact results?

Advanced test
I’m going to do the Advanced Test in the morning. My GP tests only TSH and levothyroxine is slowly increasing which I’m ok about I suppose. However, I want to know more about the vitamin component and T3 and 4. The Medichecks instructions advise test in the morning but don’t say anything about taking

Plaquenil - Hair loss
Hi All, Is anyone here had/have serious hair loss due to plaquenil side effect? I found out that my hair loss is from the drug and not because of the lupus itself (if I stop taking it my hair loss stops in a month or two) My doctor agrees its the cause but she doesn't have any answers for me except

Extreme hair loss!
Hello, I just started 25mcg of levothyroxine 5 days ago (new to this). My hair has been dramatically falling out for a while now but from day 2 of taking Teva levothyroxine it became twice as bad!!! I stopped taking it today as I will have no hair left at this rate, but cannot get in touch with my GP

Scalp SLE diagnosed April 2021, conflicting/contradictory medications - any advice?
Hi I've had a biopsy which confirmed SLE for scalp last year in France (where I live).Having suffered health issues due to serious overmedication here before, I was reluctant to start on 400mg of Plaquenil. Got a 2nd opinion in Spain in May2021, who prescribed Diprosone (topical steroid cream) which

Problem With Finger Prick Test
Hello This morning I got up early to carry out a finger prick test. I could not collect enough blood for the sample. All I could obtain was one thick sticky looking immobile blob of blood from each finger. I completed a finger prick test for another company in the past with no problems. I followed

Thyroid and Supplements to help Perimenopause
Hi, I have Hypothyroidism and take Thyroxine and NDT. I have been having symptoms over the last 6-8 months similar to Thyroid which I now believe to be Perimenopause. I started on Collagen which has helped with joint pain and saw a GP last week who suggested Black Cohosh and Red Clover to see how

Hashimoto & hair loss, Alopecia Aretera
After my recent blood test, I sent a message to my endo, he thinks bloodwork within range is ok. He may adjust my dose & starts if liothyronine t3 as well. Should I be taking zinc & selenium? Which food & vitamins? Biotin- I use shampoo with biotin & use hair spray boost with biotin & collagen. I

Postpone period whilst 6 months into IUD
Hi all I understand you may not have an answer but having a discussion may help me feel better ! I have had the Mirina IUD for 6 months now as a treatment for Endo after surgery and still getting monthly bleeds. When I was taking the pill I would take a back to back packet if I wanted to postpone a bleed

Hi everyone Some people may know from my previous posts that I've been struggling a lot with hair loss. Since this February it has rapidly increased and I'm trying my best not to stress about this.

Endometrial Biopsy
Hello, I had a biopsy done yesterday due to the thickness of my womb. I was wondering if anyone else has had this done and how long the results took on nhs? Also does this show endometriosis?

What should I do with medication increase / change? Labs are below. Please help !!!
EDIT: thank you all for the responses. What I’ve decided to do, since I’ve ran out of Armour anyway. So I’ve switched to nature throid capsules (that don’t have fillers in them.) my doctor friend sent me about 105 days worth of these so I mine as well try them and see if they work better than Armour

So fed up with hair-loss from Armour
I guess this is part question: part post. Firstly, I’m SO incredibly fed up with the extreme hairloss from Armour. I know it’s from the Armour because, 1- hairloss is one of the main side effects of the Med. 2: the hair loss started immediately upon starting the medication in October. I have photos
