Extreme hair loss!
Hello, I just started 25mcg of levothyroxine 5 days ago (new to this). My hair has been dramatically falling out for a while now but from day 2 of taking Teva levothyroxine it became twice as bad!!! I stopped taking it today as I will have no hair left at this rate, but cannot get in touch with my GP

Problem With Finger Prick Test
Hello This morning I got up early to carry out a finger prick test. I could not collect enough blood for the sample. All I could obtain was one thick sticky looking immobile blob of blood from each finger. I completed a finger prick test for another company in the past with no problems. I followed

Mayo Clinic Received a totally different approach to managing my MPN
I do have autoimmune issues so he feels stopping the Besremi would help my
alopecia
and vitiligo. He also feels that it’s not good to be on a chemo drug indefinitely. Receiving two different opinions is very confusing. Can anyone tell me about their experience with Phlebotomy only.

Thyroid and Supplements to help Perimenopause
Hi, I have Hypothyroidism and take Thyroxine and NDT. I have been having symptoms over the last 6-8 months similar to Thyroid which I now believe to be Perimenopause. I started on Collagen which has helped with joint pain and saw a GP last week who suggested Black Cohosh and Red Clover to see how

Postpone period whilst 6 months into IUD
Hi all I understand you may not have an answer but having a discussion may help me feel better ! I have had the Mirina IUD for 6 months now as a treatment for Endo after surgery and still getting monthly bleeds. When I was taking the pill I would take a back to back packet if I wanted to postpone a bleed

I also have vitiligo and
alopecia
and Jak 2 inhibitors are helping people with those conditions. My dermatologist just recommended talking to my MPN specialist about this drug? I just recently started Pegasys for my PCV.

Hi everyone Some people may know from my previous posts that I've been struggling a lot with hair loss. Since this February it has rapidly increased and I'm trying my best not to stress about this. I am not on any medication, but have booked an appointment with a functional medicine practitioner from

Endometrial Biopsy
Hello, I had a biopsy done yesterday due to the thickness of my womb. I was wondering if anyone else has had this done and how long the results took on nhs? Also does this show endometriosis?

What should I do with medication increase / change? Labs are below. Please help !!!
EDIT: thank you all for the responses. What I’ve decided to do, since I’ve ran out of Armour anyway. So I’ve switched to nature throid capsules (that don’t have fillers in them.) my doctor friend sent me about 105 days worth of these so I mine as well try them and see if they work better than Armour

So fed up with hair-loss from Armour
I guess this is part question: part post. Firstly, I’m SO incredibly fed up with the extreme hairloss from Armour. I know it’s from the Armour because, 1- hairloss is one of the main side effects of the Med. 2: the hair loss started immediately upon starting the medication in October. I have photos
