Well, mine's getting more sparse, but then again I'm getting old :D

I lost all my underarm hair, and now only have some leg hair on the front - makes life a bit easier :)

Yes. Most disappeared long before I was diagnosed.

Still got some but sparse and I cant remember when I last did my underarms or legs these days - which I love! I’d say it’s most likely age in my case - probably the only perk I can think of.

Hair loss including loss of pubic hair is a sign of either hyper or hypothyroidism. Are you hypo?

I have lost lots of hair when my GP decided to cut my levothyroxine dose, once I increased it again to the right level, my hair started to grow back.
