@mri8191 If you take biotin stop taking it a few days before any TSH test, it can affect the results. My endo told me it does not affect your thyroid, just the test, and then only if they use a certain method for the test.
You must be in pretty decent shape. I can't go more than about 40 minutes on my recumbent bike, and about the same maximum on a treadmill or elliptical. It's amazing that you gained weight, assuming that your intake was the same.

Thanks for the information on the Biotin supplement, I will stop a few days before bloodwork tests. I am off thyroid meds and my OD, has me on Kelp, 150 mg day.
The Xarelto blood thinner and thyroid medication had some side effects, it also increased my blood pressure and sugar.
