Laurie--- I take both a thyroid med. & Biotin. One in AM & the other at night. Before blood work, I stop Biotin
for a few days, Dr.'s orders. My hair & nails are fine, though it took about 4 or so months to notice growth,

Stopping the biotin just a few days before the test gives a false reading. The biotin actually interferes with the absorption all month of the thyroid medication. Best to separate the times you take the biotin from the thyroid med by a good 4 hours. Take the biotin at bed time thyroid medication in a.m.
