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

My main concern isn’t the alopecia itself; it’s whether Acalabrutinib could be causing toxicity in my body. My oncologist assures me that alopecia isn’t related to the medication, while my dermatologist says it’s an autoimmune disorder with no clear explanation.

Hello, could you tell me how many days before having a blood test ( TSH, T3, T4) I need to stop taking biotin? I am taking a minimal dosage of 50mcg, but I don't want it to interfere with the test. Thank you

After a couple of very stressful incidents in recent months I have lost a lot more hair than my usual levels. Clumps have thankfully slowly begun growing again, but that is throwing the rest of my hair into disarray - often exposing the areas of loss. A bit drastic, but has anyone cut their hair really

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

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?

Other autoimmune diseases include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac, sjogrens syndrome, multiple sclerosis, polymyalgia rheumatica, Type 1 diabetes, alopecia areata, vasculitis, and inflammatory bowel disease - there are more than 80 of them.
