Hey gang~
Just wanted to share a health issue I had recently, and wanted to give you a heads up, so that it doesn’t happen to YOU!
Recently, I had some blood work done that came out wonky-

The first one (for yearly physical) came back showing my thyroid was in overdrive.
It showed hyperthyroidism.

They ordered some more tests-and those came back fine!?
I did some sleuthing, and this is what I found.
It was a supplement I was taking for Hair, skin and nails,
and THAT was the culprit!

The first blood test was taken while I was still taking that supplement.

The second blood test was done after I had been off them for awhile.

Turns out that large doses of BIOTIN, which is the main ingredient in that supplement, can give you a false-positive thyroid test!
It could lead through you getting treatment for something you do not have!

Read more about Biotin here:https://www.thyroid.org/patient-thyroid-information/ct-for-patients/january-2022/vol-15-issue-1-p-7-8/

Stop taking these supplements 3 to 5 days before your blood tests!
Since they are water soluble, it should clear your blood work so it comes out fine,
and it’s a good reminder to tell your Doc about any supplements you may be taking!
All the best to you!
Ms.B

Very interesting. So your thyroid was not really in overdrive, just appeared to be?
