Can't seem to get anywhere
At the same time I developed
alopecia
. All my hair fell out. I was then diagnosed with a Thoracic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm and the Consultant put all the Thyroid stuff on the back burner. So I had Open Heart Surgery April 2019 to repair the Aneurysm.

Biotin Can Affect Labs
MK83 previously mentioned biotin to BabyOleg. This is not about not taking it, but how it may affect bloodwork results. I recently discovered by accident that it can affect labs which doesn't mean not to take it, but also it is in vitamin supplements. I have hyperparathyroidisn and high Vit D 125 and

I just turned 19 and I am now taking finasteride. Not sure if Iâm dealing with the side effects or itâs just all in my head?
In high school I notice my hair had been thinning out excessively. By the time I turned 18 and graduated I notice some recession. So when I told my dermatologist about this he offered me finasteride. He told me there were some harmful side effects to it such as erectile dysfunction. But that only 1%

Long-term balanitis and regrets after biopsy
And suddenly I got a case of
alopecia
areata. Maybe it appeared because of this treatment. I don't know for sure. I am taking care of
alopecia
areata at the moment. Things are getting better now at least. But the balanitis thing is still unsolved.

Split T3 dose effectively
Does anybody know how to effectively split a T3 dose? It is really cumbersome to split some tablets, as they crumble and don't divide easily. I'm currently grinding the T3 tablet into a fine powder and then mix it thoroughly with magnesium glycinate powder. I then form a line of powder which i separate

Can anyone advise supplements to help with Hair loss and Thinning?
I have Hashimoto's and I'm losing my hair - no bald patches as yet but very thin on top and very brittle. It feels like a handfuls come out every time I comb it. I'm on 100mcg Levo, though this has just been increased from 75mcg in the last few days. I notice that Biotin seems to be recommended but

Hair Loss and Thyroid
A lot of posts describe loss of hair coinciding with thyroid deficiency or what is believed to be inadequate treatment. The BTF page on thyroid function and hair loss makes a very important point. A patient may think that hair loss after treatment is due to the inadequacy of the suggested dosage of whatever
