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?

Alopecia

Hairloss after being ovemedicated??
Hi, I was over medicated on Levothyroxine from around the end of November until the end of January this year. My Levothyroxine was reduced down to 125mcg and I’m now back in range. My question is, I’ve just started to have hairloss and I’m wondering if it could be from when I was over medicated and had

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.

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.

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

I’m losing massive chunks of hair
I thought it was stress and as a result I assumed it was
alopecia
. My GP said all my levels are normal My dermatologist diagnosed me with
Alopecia
& gave me shots on my scale as a treatment. The past few days after internet research I am now starting to believe it’s a T3 issue.

Anyone tried red light therapy for Hashi's?
I've been hearing some chatter in the US functional health world about using red light therapy to improve Hashi symptoms and potentially increase T4 to T3 conversion. Apparently there is some credible research supporting this. Has anyone tried this? https://www.thepaleomom.com/joovv-red-light-therapy-for-autoimmune-disease

Please any thoughts on T4 just above range when it was usually 15/16 for the last several tests. NO change in dose ?No thyroid , no biotin . Test was done for other reasons and just happened to be called for. The change happened in about 5 weeks ! I’m at a loss and scared of reduction as I think
