Bad hair condition
Can anyone suggest anything to do or take for my hair, its in terrible condition. I've tried stuff like argan oil etc and obviously can't take anything with kelp in it. I have had an underactive thyroid and take 200mg Thyroxine per day.

Hair loss 😢
Hi folks, I did post a few weeks ago about this but as it's still falling out I wondered if anyone has had any experience with this and if it's likely to resolve or continue? I'm currently on 100 Levo and I know it's a side effect of this but if anyone has experienced it could they remember roughly how

Thyroid and Hairloss

The most recent symptoms are hairloss and premature white hair! I noticed one white hair in nov now I at least 30% white. The hairloss I experience is scaring

Lupus/Sjogren and Ugly days!
Hey all Just having one of those days where my hair loss seems to be really noticeable, scalp glaring at me from mirror, weight gain around butt and tummy from prednisone seems to be wobblying more today and skin just looks thin, pasty and horrid. So.....not just bad hair day but "all over ugly day"

Alopecia areata
I was just reading an article where it said 90% of
alopecia
areata sufferers had low levels of Vit D - and it has been a while since I took any. Anything else?

Ferritin
Hi, I haven't been diagnosed with thyroid problems but I have been having hair loss. My ferritin is 23 (15-150) which seems Low end of normal to me but the doctor said it wouldn't be that causing hair loss because my hemaglobin is normal (don't know the result) is this true or could my hair loss be due

Am I hypo or not?
Hello, I would like to consult with you if thyroids may cause my sympthoms or not. I have definately slow resting metabolism (when not high on cortisol). But thyroids are not just one thing which may cause it. So I would like to consult with you if thyroids are qualified for supplementing or not.

Help! Sudden decrease in bone density!
As some of you may remember I already have Type 1 Diabetes, Hashimoto's Disease,
Alopecia
Areata , Vitilgo and POTS. Mentally, I just don't think I can face taking on board yet another autoimmune disease like Sjogren's.

Endo removed during lap but not endo? Help me.
Hi, I need to vent, I'm at my wits end. I've been pushed from one Dr to another, had countless visits to a&e, ultrasounds, ablation and 2 laps. The latest lap in March 15 the surgeon told me he had removed endo from my pelvic wall and some ligaments. I went to a&e yesterday as the pressure felt like

Hi, just hoped for some advice really, I have recently started taking supplements to try and help lower my antibodies and generally help myself feel better. But the list is growing as to what I think I should be taking.. I started with good probiotics to boost my immune system alongside selenium and

Has anyone of Black or Minority Ethnicity applied for wig help via the NHS within the last 5 years?
Apologies, it's a long post. My SLE caused my hair loss back in 2002. I was very devastated at the time as I loved having my hair braided and the versatility of the different style I could have. My hair loss ultimately affected my self-esteem and body image in a major way. At that time I was unaware

Controlling symptoms
Hi, I am hoping that someone can offer me some advice. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about eighteen months ago and was put on 25 mcg of levothyroxine. I was referred to an Endocrinologist in March last year and my dose was increased to 50mcg and in May increased again to 75 mcg. My latest
