Hairloss after being ovemedicated??
Hi, I was over medicated on Levothyroxine from around the end of November until the end of January this year. My Levothyroxine was reduced down to 125mcg and I’m now back in range. My question is, I’ve just started to have hairloss and I’m wondering if it could be from when I was over medicated and had

Can you differentiate hair loss as a symptom of Hypothyroidism and aging? Whilst undermedicated I had hair loss. Now on 125mg Levothyroxine but hair not grown back. Is if ever likely to? Thanks for reading.

Hairloss
My hair is starting to shed at a fast rate again. It was growing back thicker and fuller then just about a month ago it starting coming out in clumps. I have less than a quarter of my original hair from when I was first diagnosed and that was still after significant hair loss. It’s really getting to

Anyone tried red light therapy for Hashi's?
I've been hearing some chatter in the US functional health world about using red light therapy to improve Hashi symptoms and potentially increase T4 to T3 conversion. Apparently there is some credible research supporting this. Has anyone tried this? https://www.thepaleomom.com/joovv-red-light-therapy-for-autoimmune-disease

I’m losing massive chunks of hair
I was on cytomel for about 4 years, recently I went to an endo who took me off of it nov. I didn’t notice my extra hair shedding , I work extra hours in a retail store during nov & December no time to pay attention to myself. I didn’t notice my hair was extremely thin & had no idea I had massive bald

Please any thoughts on T4 just above range when it was usually 15/16 for the last several tests. NO change in dose ?No thyroid , no biotin . Test was done for other reasons and just happened to be called for. The change happened in about 5 weeks ! I’m at a loss and scared of reduction as I think

Shedding many small hairs
Hi I´m a 21-year-old male and I shed many small hairs. I have hypothyroidism and currently take 75 ug levothyroxine. I only shed these tiny hairs and my hairline or density hasn't changed much or at all in the last years. Can someone tell me maybe what they think the cause is? I`ve taken levothyroxine

Does topical retinoic acid effect the thyroid??
I believe that 25 years of daily topical Retin a has had an effect on my ability to convert t4 to active t3 based on my blood work. I do not have an autoimmune disorder. Wondering if it has something to do with retinol binding receptors and thyroid receptors?? Any ideas!????

Hair Loss if hypothyroid?
There have been a number of posts of members complaining of thinning hair or hair loss altogether. I came across this link which is informative and could be helpful. I think I'd get a blood test first to see if we have a zinc deficiency because we may not, so no point in supplementing. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

nature throid ineffective
Hi all-Curious if anyone else has had problems with nature throid (1 grain) this past year. I did seem to do better on armour but they are supposed to be the same. Could just be me but my tsh went up, t3 went down after being stable for several months. Tried Tirosint 112 mcg recently and gained 5 pounds

Hair loss
I’ve been on zoladex & HRT for nearly a year now waiting for my full hysterectomy & bowel resection. I’ve noticed hair loss for a while but my hair has become very dry/brittle (I previously had to wash my hair daily due to greasiness) and a nightmare to brush. I don’t have any bold patches it’s more
