My sone is 6 months old and I got diagnosed with it when he was 2 months

My daughter has diagnosed hypothyroidism and has regular checks to make sure it stays level. Throughout her pregnancy she had to up the dose of Thyroxin as more is needed during pregnancy. Yes, her hair was very thin prior to being diagnosed and she put on a lot of weight. The doctor has found the correct level for her and she has 3 monthly blood checks to keep an eye on it. In your case it is probably your adjusting hormones that has caused your hair to thin. I know when I had my daughter my hair was very thin for a few months after the birth, but back to normal within the year. If you are worried about your thyroid the only way to check is to get a blood test done. Don't know why you are afraid of needles - you've had a baby!!!!

Lol had five kids my anxiety made me scared of another of things lol I dye my hair regular stopping now tho and also straighten everyday I'm average size size ten been like this size ten year lol

[lauren23]

My hair starts falling out when im stressed but I get all sorts of weird anxiety symptoms some of the symptoms I went to a+e with because they were that scary I actually thought there was something wrong

[Lottieonline in reply to lauren23]

Lauren23

My hair comes out in handfuls!!

It's so scary. I'm worried that my Fibro or anxiety is causing it to come out?

I already take thyroxine so it can't be that.

I might just have to go to,doctors again

[lauren23 in reply to Lottieonline]

My hair can also come out in clumps but im also on depo injection that can also make hair fall out and I thought I also have hyperthyroidism had bloods done 2 year ago after I had my baby and it was fine how do you know if you have got hyperthyroidism before having bloods done

[Were in reply to lauren23]

Hi, yes I have a bald spot ..that was my fault lol I tried to give myself a trim , now I have a bald spot lol. But , my hair isn't getting longer like it should. It could be because of stress , anxiety, my diet lol idek. I have had my hair get thin on me, & another bald spot a yr ago ....that was because of my anxiety meds. I wish i knew a natural remedy to get my hair how it was before

[Lottieonline in reply to hippieebbbz09]

Hi hippieebbbz09

What anxiety meds are you on because I've never experienced hair falling out before?

[hippieebbbz09 in reply to Lottieonline]

I was on benzos ..only diazepam & lorezapam . I did get some hair breakage & s couple hair went too. I learned that you have to eat healthy , along with taking those meds. Yeah main thing was hair breakage , thinking out a bit

[Were]

[judy1713]

Mine sure has, It's very thin and Fine. They say stress makes you lose your hair ??

[Lottieonline in reply to judy1713]

Judy,

Do you really believe stress makes your hair fall out?

[judy1713 in reply to Lottieonline]

Lottie, I no it does, Its in a lot of health articles. Sad but true My hair is soooo thin.

[Were in reply to judy1713]

Mine too but the dyes done most of it Judy how you x

[Were]

Or thanks Judy I worry far to much hunny

[Lottieonline in reply to Were]

So do I, heaps too much

[Were in reply to Lottieonline]

Lol I think I have everything wrong lottie the way I feel what do you feel like

[Lottieonline]

Unhappy all the time. All day everyday. Worry about everything, scared of this and that. The only place I feel safe is in my bed.

Had an ex b/friend who used to go out boozing all the time! That's what started it off.

I tried to end it all, that's how unhappy I was. Not sure why but it's come back......😓

[Hidden]

Stress won't make you lose your hair unless you're predisposed to hair loss or it's hereditary. That being said, there's no real way to know if you are or not until it starts falling out. I would get your thyroid checked though. Are you going bald?

[Were in reply to Hidden]

No not going bald a think stress tbh I've been like this seven year and I bleach it and straightning it but I've stopped dying it now to and also youst to wash t daily it's just gone thin and when I straighten it there's loads of little bits all over and when I wash or brush it not massive clumps just like lots of strands x

[Were]

Stress does that's a certain x
