Low Testosterone Treatment
Hi, I am not sure if this community is the right place for this post but here goes: about 8 years ago I was referred to an Endocrinologist who did blood tests for all the usual things and found my T was very low (3). Everything else he felt was normal. He prescribed Testim gel to be applied daily. after

Help for itchy hair?
Hi, I am new here. I am a 39 year old mother from Jamaica. For a number if years I have been experiencing itchy hair scalp, especially in the middle of my hair. This causes hair loss but only the end breaks off. My hair itches terribly when it's breaking and itchy uncontrollable when it's being comb.

What I hate most about Lupus....
Diagnosed in March 2016. There are lots of Lupus things that bother and frustrate me but the one that upsets me is the hair loss. I have spent the last 3 years searching for a hair loss solution....... Thankfully I found one and now that I look like me again, I feel able to tackle anything Lupus can

Little lost soul!!
In regards to low ferritin levels... What can I take instead of Biotin? I do not want to be taking anything that affects my levels but want to take something that is hopefully going to improve my hair loss. I have B12 and Vit D... Is there a ferritin and folate vitamin? xx

In need of other opinions
Endometriosis isn't the only problem I'm having, since during this last year I've been diagnosed with autoimmune Hashimoto thyroiditis,
alopecia
areata and I'm now doing tests as I'm suspected to have Crohn syndrome.

Hypothyrodism
Have hypothyrodism and take 30 mg daily of armour. I am very short winded when I climb steps or pull on water hose. I have had heart checked and lungs, which are fine. My T3 is 79ng/dl. T4 is 1.1ng/dl. Vitamin D,25 is 68 ng/ml. Is this good enough.

Hair loss: slightly high TSH vs. low ferritin?
I've had hair loss for a while - it kicked in after my daughter turned 1 I think - but it has really ramped up in the last couple months and I finally dragged myself to the GP to have some blood tests. I've had one round of tests back and need some input re the results: B12 = 390 (190-660 ng/L) TSH

Mentally I feel much better and don't want to take more levo and become a walking zombie with headaches but

Can an accident/trauma affect our T3 levels ?
I am struggling at present with hypo like symptoms of tearfulness, low energy,shakiness, anxious/nervous, loss of confidence and a return of the pricking sensation from (low B12 I suppose). -all these symptoms have come on from an accident I had three weeks ago. I thought these were shock symptoms,
