@shelleyw thank you so much! I’m so very sorry you’re enduring so much! I’ll be praying for you. I don’t have the referral yet, I’m hoping to soon. OH MY GOSH! I take biotin sublingual! I never knew it could alter test results! Thank you for that. I’ll keep plugging away … get the cortisol test to begin with, meet with my pcp and tell her I want the referral, because I know when my body is off. You’ve been very helpful, thank you!

Biotin is fine, just do not take 24 hours before the thyroid tests! I usually stop taking it a week before! I am 52 F, have been on thyroid meds since the age of 14! I had to have biotin after bariatric surgery so I have been well educated on that! Also some medical groups let you self refer to a specialist if your insurance is a PPO (versus HMO) as I can self refer to any specialist in my medical group. They have a referral phone number! You may want to check on that! Good luck!
