I've also been diagnosed with alopecia which is an autoimmune disorder. My doctor changed my medication from 150 down to 125mg in May and I'm going for a blood test on Monday to see my new count as she thinks I may be border line and need to reduce again.I've also been diagnosed with alopecia which is an autoimmune disorder.

Hypothyroidism and alopecia

Has been well managed with thyroxine but recently I’ve developed carpel tunnel syndrome, a painful swelling in my foot and alopecia, the alopecia is awful. GP believes it is all auto immune and linked to my thyroid.Has been well managed with thyroxine but recently I’ve developed carpel tunnel syndrome, a painful swelling in my foot and alopecia, the alopecia is awful.
