Biotin supplements and some lab. tests
It's important to declare biotin and other supplements when taking lab. tests as they might interfere with a wide range of them (not all labs or tests, it all depends on the assays used). The range of potentially affected tests includes anaemia (both varieties, ferritin and B12), possible malignancies

Hypothyroidism and hair
Just another wee discovery I've made in the past month regarding my thinning and flyaway hair. I used to have a full head of thick healthy black hair that has changed texture as I've gone grey. However, since developing hypothyroidism it's been so distressing to see it fall out, frizz up and resemble

I can move and it feels amazing.
I don't want to speak too soon, but I am over the moon. I have cried with happiness this morning. After yesterday's steroid injection nightmare, today is a good day. The best day I've had in over 2 months. Nothing hurts. My joints aren't swollen. I woke up early full of energy. I could lift myself

Tingling itchy scalp and hair loss
I'm losing quite a lot of hair and now have a tingling/itchy scalp. I have Hashimoto's and follow a gluten free diet. What can I do? I really don't want to bald as well as fat :(

FIRSTANA Trial - Cabazitaxel 20/25 mg v. Docetaxel 75 mg
"In contrast, men treated with docetaxel were more likely to experience peripheral neuropathy, stomatitis, peripheral edema,
alopecia
, and nail disorders than those who received cabazitaxel." "Median" stats convey little about the experience of the 50% who do better.

Difficulty losing weight. On 50mcg Levothyroxine. Had private tests done since GP insists dosage is correct. Help interpreting results?
I was diagnosed with UAT about 2 years ago - I had started feeling lethargic, cold, and had
alopecia
- and was initially put on a 25mcg Levothyroxine dosage by endocrinologist.

Ferritin levels
I'm 20 years old.My ferritin levels are 18 ng/ml (15-300) and I'm having hair loss. I went to the doctor and he didn't seem to worry about it because I wasn't anemic, however, I feel like I should improve that. What are your opinions? Should I take an iron supplement?
