TSH increase
I recently had blood tests due to feeling really fatigued especially after exercising. I’ve been on levo for 13 years for Hashimoto’s. Levels have been up and down. Last test was 0.75 and I felt fine. That was 9 months ago. Most recent test it was 7.16! No wonder I feel bad. All vits tested on the low

Discoid lupus
It has also killed off patches of my hair follicles and I am diagnosed with
alopecia
. I am struggling to live with these changes and I can’t even recognise myself in the mirror. Please, I would greatly appreciate any advice or treatments that worked for you.

hair dye/hair loss,
hi everyone, I’ve got any hair appointments next week to have my half head roots done, this would be my first hair appointment since diagnosis, and although I’m shredding more hair then normal I don’t know what to do with my appointment? Is it better to cancel it till my hair stops falling out, or get

Boron, an interesting article about supplement for T3 increase
Found this article which I found interesting as a possible supplement to assist with T3 may consider after next blood test if no improvement. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4712861/?fbclid=IwAR3dMJ-9rLLZ47g1qBU4LbMViJROk8gIbRNhijGMMW3giwHjVbsY06Huppk

Hair Loss
I am aware the thyroid being out of range can cause hair loss. Other than trying to get my thyroid back into range, is there anything else I can do to help slow/reduce hair loss and help my body to regenerate/grow new hair? Still hypothyroid, working on improving my levels and TgAB are increasing.

Eye brow hair loss
Hi, a few days ago I posted my story on this forum. Today I would like to focus on one problem in particular, eye brow hair loss. I always had rather thin and far from perfect eye brows, but since I had my surgery it got much worse. I feel very bad and embarrassed about it 😞 I understand that

Biotin use
I've been reading posts here about taking biotin & how it affects blood test results. I started daily biotin supplement around 2014 when I had a treatment for multiple sclerosis that was thinning my hair & weakening my nails. I found it was really helping & noticed a difference when I ran out once.

Medichecks advanced thyroid rest
Hi all, The instructions for my medichecks test says to stop B12 for two whole weeks before testing! Do others follow this advice? I know from this forum that I have to stop any biotin containing supplements for 7 days before any blood test.

hair loss
Hi I still haven’t seen a rheumatologist so don’t know is I have Lupus or anything else. My Gp thinks it’s something autoimmune and I’ve had so many blood tests. Most of my lovely thick hair has thinned away over the past couple of months and I’m left with a Danny Devito / Bill Bailey style hair. I’ve

No
alopecia
but enough for her and I to notice at showers and brushes. I know that hair loss is a side effect, but wondering if anyone has experienced this and if it’s part of the adjustment period to the medication and if it will eventually stop.
