Experiences with

Alopecia

my alopecia aretera doesn’t seem to improve despite me taking biotin 5000 mcg, citracal + D3 - 400 mg calcium, vitamin D 12.5 mcg. My endocrinologist says results are good! Thanks

Hi all, I've experienced a lot of hair loss over the past 6 weeks since being issued with crescent pharma 25mcg levothyroxine tablets (previously either teva or wockhardt which I've been OK on). I take 87.5mcg levo daily, so a 50mcg accord tablet, plus 1 and a half 25mcg tablets. Has anyone else experienced

I may be clutching at straws here but I'm wondering whether anyone else has experienced hair loss on the Teva brand of Levothyroxine? My 20 year old daughter has a diagnosis of (secondary) hypothyroidism and takes 10mcg of Liothyronine plus 50/75 mcg of Levo on alternate days. She was very ill when

I’ve now given up using Thyrogold and in sheer desperation ordered a batch of armour and a batch of metative 11. I am up to 4.25 grains of Thyrogold and my TSH increased again? But T3 and T4 marginally improved but to be honest I was taking biotin so that could be a false high. My question is who’s having
