Help with hair problem
I've also been diagnosed with
alopecia
which is an autoimmune disorder. My doctor changed my medication from 150 down to 125mg in May and I'm going for a blood test on Monday to see my new count as she thinks I may be border line and need to reduce again.

NDT+T3 or NDT+LEVO ?
I have a dilemma, today I received the labs for my 3,5 grains Thiroyd-Thai.ndt. I am on ndt for about 3 months, initially I was on 125mcg levo+12,5T3 but not doing very well. The values are not very good, ft4 is low 11,90 (11,97-21) and ft3 is 5,64 (3,1-6,8). I split the ndt in two doses. If I raise

Low T3 syndrome in thyroid therapy: THREE studies
Another interesting post from Prof Smith. PR "In contrast with a long list of over 70 medical research articles on low T3 syndrome that excluded thyroid patients, I have only found three (3) studies so far that included patients being treated for hypothyroidism." https://thyroidpatients.ca/2019/08/29

Scalp Issues & Hair Loss
Hi Lisalou19, Firstly, I hope your newly prescribed shampoo gives you some relief from the continous itch & heat and worse of all hair loss. As a female you treasure your hair as they say it is your "crowning glory". It is sooooooooo depressing. But hey, hopefully we can turn it all around! These are

Unhappy
I have just join ed but had
Alopecia
for 15 year's following a big op. My husband of 40+ years still doesn't like to see me without a wig and still tells everyone we meet that I wear wigs. To my embarrassment. Any ideas on what I should do

Does hypothyroidism make you more susceptible to viruses and can it effect the time it takes for you to recover from illness?
I recently had a stomach virus and was off work for over a week, on my return my manager asked me if Hypothyroidism would cause me to be more susceptible to illness or effect my recovery time since it and my
Alopecia
are both autoimmune diseases.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia
Hi everyone, I have just joined this community. I was diagnosed with this miserable condition two years ago. I hesitated about going to my GP because losing hair seemed rather trivial. I notice a number of the posts are two to three years old and it would be nice to have some updates. I have seen

Hair loss
My niece has had long term lupus - now hair is very thin on top of her head and also scalp very red. I would like to buy her a good quality wig so she is less self conscious when she goes out. Not to wear all the time at home. She is mid aged 55 Any suggestions would be welcome Morvich

Biotin and other supplements and meds
After having tests during which I had to stop taking biotin, as it interferes with results, I was wondering if it interferes with the absorption of other supplements. I don't take it with my thyroid and adrenal meds. Does it interfere with other vitamins such as vitamin C, B12, or things like L glutamine

Hair loss
Does anyone know anything about hair loss in relation to the fine hair that covers your body rather than your actual head hair? I seem to have developed 2 circular bald patches from my forehead and now it’s started disappearing from my throat. Is this related to the thyroid or is an auto immune thing

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

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?
