Brown spot on toenail...
I know this isn't really a lupus issue, but just curious if anyone else has come across this? I mentioned the appearance of a brown spot on my large toenail to my doctor and he was instantly very concerned and referred me for an urgent dermatologists appointment. Ive since looked up information on this

A single 10mg oral dose of biotin interferes with thyroid function tests
This simple and small scale study demonstrated that even a single dose of 10 milligrams of biotin is enough to push TSH down, and FT4 and FT3 up sufficiently to potentially cause misdiagnosis. 10 milligrams was chosen because it is commonly available dose of biotin as a supplement. Anyone could take

Child hair loss
Alopecia
also runs in my mum's side of the family, my auntie has no hair what so ever and my brother had it after falling on ice and hitting his head. Have a phone appointment booked for tomorrow with the Dr as I don't want my daughter to over worry and can ask questions before taking her in.

Anxiety taking over?
So I made an emergency appointment the next morning and my doctor diagnosed me with anxiety (I already have
Alopecia
and Anemia, and he mentioned something about lack of blood in my brain could be something to do with it I don't know).

Hair loss and lack of help from medics
Hi everyone. I have terrible hair loss all of a sudden as well as other issues like loss of eyebrows, poor nails etc. I went to GP he did all tests and when they came back said nothing he could do. I pushed for visit to consultant which he did. Consultant was a waste of time. He said don't know why GP

Can someone help me with the kelp dosing?
Can someone show me what a dose of sea kelp powder ( Hebridean sea kelp) looks like that is equivalent to 60 mcg of levothyroxine on a teaspoon? Can you recommend me some good kelp supporting nutrients that help the thyroid utilize it? In addition, can you recommend me something that helps remove the
