Alopecia

[FLAMB]

Hi

Does anyone have any advice or tips on under active thyroid and alopecia? I take levothyroxine but my alopecia is still slowly getting worse.

Have you checked vitamins and minerals, deficiencies can lead to hair loss:

Can you recommend a home vitamin deficiency test?

Not that includes all those I'm afraid. Some can be done by Medichecks or Blue Horizon but those would be the core vitamins Vit D, B12, Folate, Ferritin and best value is when they're included in a thyroid/vitamin test bundle.

The way I understand it, your antibodies are attacking your hair follicles.

Therefore, it’s important to support your immune system to get it behaving itself.

Ways to do that include- manage your vit, mineral and healthy food intake, cut stress out as much as poss, sleep plenty, exercise moderately.

Suggest you also look at foods to cut inflammation.

Also, are you on dairy and gluten free? Plus cut sugar. That will all help I’m sure. Good luck.

Thanks for this reply. Would Gluten and Diary make a difference? I don’t think I have intolerances to them. I don’t show signs for it.

I’ll look at foods that cause inflammation, I had no idea there was such a thing.

Antibodies don’t attack anything. They clean up 🤗

I am losing my hair on my hairline and crown. Worse on my hairline.

What was triggering your hair loss? Thyroid or vitamin deficiency?

What/who is Elaine Moore?

Do you work for them?

You haven’t written or replied to any posts on this forum before. It would be very uncool to pray on the misfortunes and vulnerabilities of others. I hope I’m wrong but this is not the site for you to sell products!

helvella and other admins can you keep an eye?

There was a reply on this thread from another member which had many of the hallmarks of spam.

It has now been deleted.

I inferred that FLAMB meant to respond to that reply but inadvertently replied to the original post. This put that response in a position where it could appear to apply to another response.

Also, this is what NWA6 referred to in another reply on this thread.

Yes - it has.
