Today I followed the advice from you guys and went for blood work. I didnt take medication 24 hours prior to it and early in the morning
Waiting for my results and will post here soon. Doctor mentioned about changing my meds to Armor meds. Let's see what happens because my symptoms are terrible...weight gain hair loss depression and much more. I am on 125mcg levo and 10mcg T3.

Shedding many small hairs
Hi I´m a 21-year-old male and I shed many small hairs. I have hypothyroidism and currently take 75 ug levothyroxine. I only shed these tiny hairs and my hairline or density hasn't changed much or at all in the last years. Can someone tell me maybe what they think the cause is? I`ve taken levothyroxine

Crying non stop
I have been on Levo for 9 months and I got my Skyla IUD put in in October and since then I have been crying all the time. My doctor also says I should be losing weight but I have gained 5.

Does topical retinoic acid effect the thyroid??
I believe that 25 years of daily topical Retin a has had an effect on my ability to convert t4 to active t3 based on my blood work. I do not have an autoimmune disorder. Wondering if it has something to do with retinol binding receptors and thyroid receptors?? Any ideas!????

Hair Loss if hypothyroid?
There have been a number of posts of members complaining of thinning hair or hair loss altogether. I came across this link which is informative and could be helpful. I think I'd get a blood test first to see if we have a zinc deficiency because we may not, so no point in supplementing. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

nature throid ineffective
Hi all-Curious if anyone else has had problems with nature throid (1 grain) this past year. I did seem to do better on armour but they are supposed to be the same. Could just be me but my tsh went up, t3 went down after being stable for several months. Tried Tirosint 112 mcg recently and gained 5 pounds

Scalp metastasis update
Scans confirmed recent dermatologist biopsy sign of Mets in scalp/
alopecia
quarter size bald spot. But she says previous Mets in sacrum and vertebrae are stable. She thinks the scalp Met was there before I started ibrance in September. Says hair follicles for bald spot are growing.

Hair loss
I’ve been on zoladex & HRT for nearly a year now waiting for my full hysterectomy & bowel resection. I’ve noticed hair loss for a while but my hair has become very dry/brittle (I previously had to wash my hair daily due to greasiness) and a nightmare to brush. I don’t have any bold patches it’s more

HRT
I have
alopecia
, think it's female pattern baldness but not sure. Doctor never told me but that's what the symptoms match. Anyway, I'm 74 and would like to go on hormone replacement therapy. Yeah, crazy, right? Anyway, thought it might help as my
alopecia
is probably hormone related.

where can i buy naltrexone
Nothing the GP has given me has made any difference to my lichen sclerosus or fibromyalgia and as for the
alopecia
; the NHS regards it as cosmetic so there is no help from the GP at all.
