Losing hair

My hair is falling out and going thinner and breaking.i have long hair and used to be shiny and thick and healthy . Now wispy and and thin.i am on 50mcg a day of liothyrinine from gp but feel tired. Have bloated stomach and never feel well. I do not think I am on enough t3 but endo won't increase it and is even thinking of stopping it and giving me thyroxine. I used to be on that and felt even worse. I would like to try natural thyroid but cannot get prescription for it. I could have deficiencies in things but cannot afford all these tests. Losing my hair is so depressing. My outer eyebrows are none existence so know it's to do with thyroid. Also have severe temperature problems. Hope someone can give advice please.

Please post your latest thyroid blood tests.My hair went just like yours on 55mcgs T3 over 2 years..My hair was OK on 125mcgs thyroxine for 16 years.I felt much much less hypothyroid on T3 but couldn't cope with the hair loss.

Now on NDT which I buy online from Thailand(the most economical way to source NDT)
