Alopecia Areata
You may already be aware of the details/publicity in the link below, but just in case I thought I'd post. I am also a member of Thyroiduk.org but today I was listening to the Radio this morning LBC and it was about a 'cure' for Alopecia. Apparently they say there is a 'cure' so I'll give the link below

We've Won!
A little time ago I said that one of our papers was in a competition in a scientific journal for the best paper in there over a 4 year period since the journal started. With your help and support, we have won this competition, and out of 12 papers, ours received over one third of the votes. I take this

Hypothyrodism
Have hypothyrodism and take 30 mg daily of armour. I am very short winded when I climb steps or pull on water hose. I have had heart checked and lungs, which are fine. My T3 is 79ng/dl. T4 is 1.1ng/dl. Vitamin D,25 is 68 ng/ml. Is this good enough.

Hair loss: slightly high TSH vs. low ferritin?
I've had hair loss for a while - it kicked in after my daughter turned 1 I think - but it has really ramped up in the last couple months and I finally dragged myself to the GP to have some blood tests. I've had one round of tests back and need some input re the results: B12 = 390 (190-660 ng/L) TSH

The good the bad and the ugly
Well I haven't taken levo for a week now due to really bad side effects and some of the old symtoms have re- appeared, hair loss, slower bowel movements and a pulling sensation in my right eye. Mentally I feel much better and don't want to take more levo and become a walking zombie with headaches but

Can an accident/trauma affect our T3 levels ?
I am struggling at present with hypo like symptoms of tearfulness, low energy,shakiness, anxious/nervous, loss of confidence and a return of the pricking sensation from (low B12 I suppose). -all these symptoms have come on from an accident I had three weeks ago. I thought these were shock symptoms,

My latest results
ok so the surgery agreed to a TSH test only and its down to 0.63 i have no idea what the T3/4 are doing and won't find out now for a few more weeks as i go on how next week. So with this chronic hair loss should i up my meds to 3 grains per day? I've been on 2.5 and thought just take an extra 1/2 grain

Hair loss with lupus
I know that hair loss is a symptom of lupus. Has anyone here with a lupus diagnosis experienced hair loss on legs only, but still full hair on the head?

Hair loss ? :-(
Hey everyone. I've posted a couple of times this past month about how I've been suffering with mad itching. It's calmed down on my body but is getting worse on my scalp/neck/ears. I can't see any rash. But last night I was waking every half hour or so and staying awake itching my scalp like crazy. I'm

Continuing Hairloss nightmare
I was diagnosed subclinical hypothyroid last December after I'd had blood tests for Hairloss. I put off going on Levothyroxine for 2 months but and just took iron as ferritin was low at 22. In Feb my tsh had honey to 8.7 so I started levo 25. My ferritin was now 4! Felt rubbish had headaches tired

Scarring alopecia DLE
I would like to know if anyone out there with DLE scarring alopecia has been prescribed anything other than Dermovate and hydroxychloroquin. I have been on both for over seven months now and hairloss no better, in fact now far worse. I don't see the dermatologist again until end Aug and wonder if I should

Update
Hi all I have now lost 90% of my hair with no signs of regrowth. I got my husband to trim the remaining straggly bits off. I saw my dermatologist a month ago, all he could offer was a strong course of steroids which he said may or may not help, and, even if there was some hair growth it could all fall
