GRAVES AND THYROTOXICOSIS : THE SKIN
Temporary thinning of the hair is common, but
alopecia
is rare. Hair loss is often extreme after marked changes in metabolic rate are induced during therapy. We have seen complete or partial
alopecia
develop in a few patients with Graves' disease, sometimes in association with urticaria.

Hair loss in August or September. Is this linked to the sun ?
I loose my hair around this time of year normally about every 2 years though sometimes more often sometimes every few years. I was out of the country for 7 years in hot client but only fell out once. Since home in England it has fallen relentlessly. I carnt pin it down only to stress and anxiety of trying

Chemo hair loss
I was not warned that my hair loss could be permanent and the doctors only comment that it is very rare and offered no help with hair loss treatments or prescriptions for wigs - it was a neighbour who has
Alopecia
who told me about prescriptions!

Prostap and tibilone hrt
Hi I'm on my 2nd prostap injection and getting awful headaches. I've been given tibilone hrt to start if I need it but am a bit reluctant to try it as others have said about unpleasant side effects. Should I be taking it and will it help with the headaches?

Teva dispensed- not feeling good
Hi. I’m on 75mcg liquid Levothyroxine. Plus 10mcg T3. Recently I was dispensed Teva Levothyroxine. I’ve only had this once before some years ago and remember not feeling good. I’ve been taking it along with my T3 x2 5mcg daily. I was feeling so great after starting my T3 6 weeks ago. Had bloods done

Anyone have experience of drinking tamarind tea?
I happened to post a photo of my lupus rash on social media. A Jamaican relative suggested I drink tamarind tea, which is widely used in the caribbean for skin conditions by the elders. It's not something I'm familiar with and wondered if anyone has any knowledge or experience of using it?

Hair loss
Can you differentiate hair loss as a symptom of Hypothyroidism and aging? Whilst undermedicated I had hair loss. Now on 125mg Levothyroxine but hair not grown back. Is if ever likely to? Thanks for reading.

Hairloss
My hair is starting to shed at a fast rate again. It was growing back thicker and fuller then just about a month ago it starting coming out in clumps. I have less than a quarter of my original hair from when I was first diagnosed and that was still after significant hair loss. It’s really getting to

Chillax or persist in getting referred?
The background is that I discovered I have
alopecia
back in January and about 10-15% of my hair has already gone. There has been some re-growth but it's negligible. I have previously been to doctors complaining about hypothyroidism and each time the TSH results have come back in the normal range.
