Hi just wondering if anyone else had this? Although I'm losing hair on my head, I'm starting to notice hair getting thicker, darker and longer on my chin, fingers and thumbs and patches in my arms?!?
I'm not really loving it, this is a new symptom I can see coming on 😞
I believe you were the one who introduced me to the HypothyroidMom webiste, and recently someone else introduced me to one of her articles about hair loss.. here is the link..It may help you!!
I shall have a look at that post (when my brain in gear)
I've had a quick look at the headings and I'm in the middle of trying to go through some of these already, I've had B12 injections, folic acid tablets, being tested for adrenals etc so on my way. The being properly medicated is not applicable as I'm not being medicated (and I don't think I will be).
My concern as well as the hair loss, is the hair growth!!! How can I be losing hair on my head yet growing hair where I shouldn't be?!?
Once I've had my short synacthen and gluten tests I shall be pleased to start implementing some changes. I just wondered whether others had experienced hair loss and growth at the same time?
I have noticed the hair growth where it shouldn't be like my chin, and my toes, and where I already had the hair(my fingers) it seems to either have more or thicker..I just brushed it to the side since I have other symptoms bothering me a little more.
As for the hair loss, I have not noticed since I do have a lot of hair, I really can't tell if it is falling too much or not...
As greygoose mentioned, I have read in other places that the extra hair growth could be related to the testesterone levels being too high..so I would consider having it tested..
Also, if your hair-loss is due to the Levo you're taking, try Evening Primrose Oil and Borage Oil.
If it's due to hypo, the only thing is to get your dose optimised.
But that only addresses LOSS of hair, not hair growing in the wrong place. It could be that your testosterone is too high. Ask your doctor if he can check it.
does sound like testosterone too high or dht causes it which is hormonal...and if that is true, evening primrose oil twice a day is advised on many sites
Thanks jacrjacr for the reply. I must try the Eveing primrose. I've just been feeling too unwell recently to implement anything. I shall have to look into this ☺️
