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

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.

forgot to stop taken my biotin and levothyroxine before a blood test
Hi People, Could you tell be how the thyroid testing is affected by Biotin and levothyroxine. I forgot to stop taking Biotin and I took my Levothyroxine at 4am on the morning of my bloodtest. How is the TSH affected - up or down?

I'm losing my hair from stress

which adds to my sadness. So, I've retreated from the world. I'm so sorry. The loss of Madeline hit me hard as we used to email each other, mostly talking bowels. Love to you all and please forgive my absence. Kryssy xxx

Endo appt
Hi all iv got my endo appt in the morning. And I forgot and took my supplement with biotin in yesterday. Is it really not worth me getting my bloods done until iv got the biotin about 5 days out my system?

Thought I'd be brave and share this! I hope it evokes some commonly shared feelings...I’ve posted it once before but took it down!

Hair loss
i have recently had my prescription review with the pharmacist at my local medical centre and she lowered my dose of levothyroxine from 125 to 100, since then my hair seems to be thinning drastically. I have recently started taking biotin but have now read that it's not advisable for a thyroid condition

Nurse Appointment
Had my rheumy nurse appointment today. Well it went a lot better than i could have expected. My liver result was 120 and has gone down to 90, so it is slowly coming down and she has told me it will sort itself out. She has advised for me not to be put back on methotrexate at all, as it is not the drug
