Thanks for info about biotin and thyroid tests
Can't find the original post but wanted to thank those who posted about biotin interfering with thyroid tests. I've been on T4 for over 20 years and additionally T3 for a couple of years & NO ONE ever mentioned this to me. Should be interesting to see what my results are after my tests tomorrow. My

Update on thinning hair
I saw my GP to once again ask why my hair is thinning considerably and to ask for my latest blood results. He pulled out hair from two places and looked for the hair bulb at the end to see if my hair was dying He came to the conclusion that as my results were 'top end of good'? the Levothyroxine I am

Need reassurance
Please can someone tell me some good outcomes from levothroxine treatment. Can we feel reasonably normal again following treatment. My tests keep going up and down and adjustments needed and then settled for a while and then blood tests change and they change dose and there I am adjusting again. Spoke

Hair has been thinning for 9 months but is growing...but I also saw a bald patch :/
During those months...it thinned slowly which made me think okay this androgenetic
alopecia
...because its thinning slowly and not coming out all at once , nor do I have patches. Also, my hair would not grow at all...which is another reason I chalked it up to Androgenetic
alopecia
.

Acupuncture for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
I was diagnosed with frontal Fibrosing
Alopecia
last august '16 (35 yr old man). I had gone to a dermatologist because my eyebrows and beard had been falling out. He then looked at my hair line and noticed little red marks at the hair roots.

Magnesium deficiency and hair loss
I am still searching for an answer to the hair loss. My current obsession is magnesium deficiency. I have read that 90% of us are deficient due to farming methods and lifestyle. I have read it causes migraine, hair loss and fatigue as well as other symptoms. I took magnesium supplements until around

ADVOICE ON KELP FOR HASHIMOTOS
Dear All Could Kelp replace thyroxine ? I have read contradictory opinions on whether people with Hashi's should take kelp. I am unable to tolerate T3 in any form, but did a trial of kelp for 2 weeks along with my Levo. After 2 weeks I became overmedicated (which always happened with T3, but much

Hair loss/growth and t3
Posting this because I sometimes see questions here about hair loss. For me it has been a hypo symptom but it didn't go away even when on the 'right' dose of levo. I still don't understand why when my bloods looked good on levo (tsh under 1, t4/t3 high in range) my hair continued to thin until t3 was

Homeopathy for alopecia
Hi my son is 20 and he has
alopecia
universalis. He has no hair or body hair at all. After a soul destroying hospital appointment where the doc was very abrupt! We decided to try alternative medicine. Anything is worth a try.

Help with sudden hair loss due to T4 medication

I know it is the medication as, despite having an underactive thyroid most of my life, I have never had any problems with hair loss until I started on medication.

Advice on blood results please
Hi everyone, I would appreciate some input into my latest( and former)results please. I have been up and down with Hashis some time now, it now seems to be getting more erratic. It started Aug, 2016 when I was feeling jittery etc., so went to my gp to ask for blood test. These were all taken early morning
