Hair loss
i have recently had my prescription review with the pharmacist at my local medical centre and she lowered my dose of levothyroxine from 125 to 100, since then my hair seems to be thinning drastically. I have recently started taking biotin but have now read that it's not advisable for a thyroid condition

Nurse Appointment
Had my rheumy nurse appointment today. Well it went a lot better than i could have expected. My liver result was 120 and has gone down to 90, so it is slowly coming down and she has told me it will sort itself out. She has advised for me not to be put back on methotrexate at all, as it is not the drug

Diffuse Hair Loss, Eczema, Chronic Illness
Hello. I am seeking advice on what is causing my health problems. I am experiencing diffuse hair loss (Telogen Effluvium) across my entire scalp.

Self injecting sayana press ... anxiety overload
Hello all I’m just wondering if any of you lovely ladies are on sayana press and have to self inject, I have to do it every 10/11 weeks, but every time I find it so hard to do and anxiety takes over, I always worry that the liquid has gone in properly and feel like I’m overthinking things and worry I

Decapeptyl/ Triptorelin 2nd Injection Flare?
Hi ladies, I'm going for my 2nd injection and I'm really really worried about having another flare stage.. it was so horrendous the first time round, It was the sickest I've ever been and I've just started a new job, I can't bare the idea of going through it again. Can anyone tell me if you flare again

Hair thinning/ change in texture (Hashi's and Alopecia)
Does anyone have a dual diagnosis of Hashi's and
Alopecia
Areata on here? The reason I ask is my hair has dramatically changed in texture (and is thinning) since I introduced T3.

Anyone had a part thyroid ectomy and had to have second op to total thyroid removal.
I have been diagnosed with androgen
alopecia
which I don't believe as all the others symptoms wouldn't happen at the same time.

Another hair loss one! For those of you who managed to halt the loss...
I have posted quite a few times on here and usually have a good response. Like many others I suffer from awful diffuse hair loss ( going on 18 months). I’m due to see my GP again about this in 2 weeks as long as these bloods show my Tsh and T4 are still in range and everything else is in range ( female

5 minutes in - hello xx
I started last year with
Alopecia
and in 6 weeks I'd lost it all. 12 months later and my
Alopecia
is now universal (everywhere.) So now I thought I need to take control and number 1 is my weight. I'm going to my first yoga session tonight and paying for 5 sessions to commit myself.

No period since April...
Stopped DHEA since I noticed that my hair was falling massively and after
alopecia
, I will stay away from it. In November I'm going to the doctors again to have my hormones checked again and see if the supplements took any effect.

Anyone ever diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome?
Last night I discovered Mast Cell Activation Syndrome which seems to fit my current collection of weird symptoms (everything from flushing to reflux to oedema) really well. Unfortunately it's not, currently, a broadly accepted diagnosis with doctors, which makes me very anxious about broaching it, but
