Discoid Lupus itchy scalp more bald patches what to do to ease it?

Hair loss
Have any of you had such a lot of hair loss that you need a wig? Or, does it stop at some point? Mines been thinning for a long time without noticeable hair loss after washing, combing. Now i am too scared to wash it as the amount of hair on comb almost brings me to tears 😢. I'm over active, gone under

Extreme Hair Loss Advice
Hello All, While I'm waiting to see a dermatologist and a doctor about my hair loss, I would really appreciate some extra advice from all the beyond amazing people of this forum. I've always had some hair loss since having hypo, but nothing like I'm losing now, ever! It's so extreme, I don't even

Hair issues
In a way, hair is the least of my issues with thyroid meds....or, in fact, lack thereof.....but the hair loss and strange frizziness is particularly annoying. I had a thick, shiny healthy head of hair before T3 removed, after 22 years, and T4 lowered. Finally, after almost 18 months, thanks to my second

hair loss
Hi I’m having a lot of hair loss, I recently had an infection and I always seem to lose more hair then, it’s coming out in clumps. Has anyone got any tips? I don’t take any meds for lupus so it’s not that. I don’t use heat appliances on my hair either 😊

Struggling to have a physical body
I also have
alopecia
areata (have had for 19 years) I'm really struggling to love myself right now. I know objectively the choices I made are correct, but I'm finding I really would like a break from being in the body that I have.

Been smelling smoke for a week after bonfire.
Constantly smelling smoke when the wind changed direction as I burnt some conifer branches. It's happened before but never continued for this long. Cut my nose hair, tried nasal sprays, irrigation etc; to no effect. Only thing that helps is Olbas oil which counters the stink. Googled it and it came

? Ashwagandha and Maca Root If Hypo
Hi.If anyone who regularly uses Ashwagandha and/or Maca Root, I would love to hear of their experience taking these. I have recently read that both Ashwagandha and Maca Root are natural ways to help rebalance hormones in menopausal women. I am not sure though, if they adversely affect thyroid meds.

GnRH side effects scares me -

Biotin and FT4/FT3 testing
We have seen discussions about the effect of biotin on thyroid tests (TSH, FT4 and FT3). This paper has the singular advantage of concentrating on the results for a single person in particular circumstances. That means, we see the specific effects of the biotin on one assay but not on another. Very

tirosint 50
Hi everyone, Up till now I have been taking Thybon T3 only but my doctor wanted me to add T4 , so I added Tirosint 50. I did feel tired so I reduced my T3 slightly. My question is, do I take the T4 with the T3 in the morning, or before? I also take T3 in evening. I am trying to do bloods, tried twice

hi. I’m 6 or7 years diagnosed with lupus, I’ve had a few different treatments over those years., but this is not about treatment.I’ve had some terrible symptoms over the years, and I feel a bit awful complaining about this minor issue now, but it is troubling me. It’s nothing compared to what I initially
