I only planned to take the Levo to get the appointment and blood tests as I was really suffering and feeling so depressed. I was desperate to get help.
The latest blood test was taken at 11am in a fasted state (no food or drink other than water since 8pm the night before) and no biotin or B vits.

Here is the test that results she said made my hyper
