Has anything changed?

Brand of Levo?

Shampoo/conditioner/other hair products?

Fabric conditioner?

You could try an over the counter antihistamine tablet such as Piritese/ton . If you have changed brands of medication some might have gum arabic( acacia). Some people have sensitivities to washing pods. No one tells you the plastic pod dissolves in the washing up machine or in the washing machine! Had trouble with an antibiotic generic. My arm and hand was swelling.The doctor told me to go to the chemist for Pyriton . It was such a relief when the swelling disappeared after a few hours.

No,I’m a creature of habit, meds are the same brand I’ve always had, nothing at all has changed, just so Itchy, maybe a trip to GP next .

No all exactly the same .

I also have painful scalp and don't know if it is from Hashimotos or from PA . On a gluten free diet. I am looking for a product to help - driving me crazy too (I take 100 mcg levo) - could this be a reaction to the Levo? I use a medicated shampoo which helps a little with the pain but not entirely (losing a lot of hair).

When were vitamin D, folate, Ferritin and B12 last tested

This time of year vitamin D likely very low unless you supplement

For a temporary fix an apple cider vinegar rinse (dilute a few teaspoons in a quart of water) will refresh your scalp. I like Jason's hair products and his toothpaste, too
