Natural Remedies/Hair loss
Hi all, I have lupus of the joints and am currently on hydroxychloroquine. I have only been on it for 1 year and my hair loss is quite bad at the moment. I am not sure if it is the autoimmune or the medication? I am only 34 and the thought of being on medication for life is horrible. So I was wondering

Please help. Returned to the doctors again recently. My latest symptom is hair loss on my scalp, I've lost my eye brows and body hair. I'm having another blood test and this particular doctor said she'll test for levothyroxine levels, iron and t3. The last too are new to me. I just thought my hypothyroidism

endometriosis and hair loss
Hi everyone, hope you're all well. I had excision surgery 3 months ago and since then I've noticed lots of hair loss. It's breaking out at the root very easily and also snapping off at the ends. I have very thick hair so it's not noticeable but i can feel it thinning out which scares me. it's also

Newly diagnosed with Alopecia Areata
But everything I have read says this goes in bald spots. However I have thinning on the left side from the crown to the front. I also have thinning about the bottom third on the back. You can almost see a line where it changes. There is a spot within this that might be going to a bald spot. My left eyebrow

Endo and coil
I've been struggling with awful periods for 20 + years and just death with them. It got to the point I just couldn't deal with them anymore and saw a consultant Monday. He took a biopsy and said it's probably endo and he thinks I should have the coil fitted. I had 4 cesarean sections my last being 16

Saw palmetto capsules
Hi since I was diagnosed as hypothyroid, I have lost more & more of my hair on the top & sides of my head, and it was becoming a real problem. My mother (also hypo like me) has the same problem and her hair is terribly thin. I did some research on line, and for a month have been taking 1000mg saw palmetto

Kelp
Just wondering if I was right to stop taking my thyroid support supplement now I am taking levothyroxine. I have read that kelp itself will now be useless (but harmless) however there are also other good things in there such as selenium manganese , chromium and L-tyrosine.

At my wits end. Hashi & hairloss! Will it ever stop??
Omg! I can't stop crying. This morning I woke up with 78 hairs on my pillow!! (Yes I counted) Is there anybody out there still on levo with hashi that had severe hairloss and is now better? I just need some hope! I'm beginning to think it's not just thyroid, or am I over reacting? Also I'm pregnant aren't

Sea kelp and levothyroxine
I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether it would be worthwhile taking sea kelp supplements as well as my thyroxine (150mg). I don't feel like the thyroxine is fully managing my symptoms, but my doctor won't increase the thyroxine as my bloods are within range, and I'm just wanting to see if there
