hi everyone, I am recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and have had hormone issues since I was 38 (now 46). I have suffered with extensive hairloss since 38 too and not thinning - literally massive bald patches that blend into bigger patches - I now have about 35% of my hair left. (I have to wear wigs)
I suffer with hip joint pain and sporadic finger joint pain. My voice is low, im always cold unless having a hot flush. I was on the Evorel Sequi HRT patch which stopped my flushes but I have discontinued that to try to sort my hormones out without synthetics. I am on 1.5 grains of Armour thyroid a day.
I am really struggling to lose weight - I eat very well - I eat organically - Im a gluten intolerant so dont eat it. My bad habit is occasional chocolate. I ice skate every week but do work in an office so on my bum most the day.
My question is - does anyone have the same issues as me? am I under medicated? Ive had T3 before but my T3 blood levels went through the roof - although I didn't feel unwell on that. Is that ok ? I was initially put on T4 only and I got fatter lol.
My hair loss is killing me mentally, my weight doesn't help that either and my brain fog makes me feel as though im a useless human being.
Has anyone tried DHEA with an under active thryroid? Do I sound oestrogen dominant or low on oestrogen (im waiting blood levels for this)
I really dont know what to try next - im just so unhappy with my health and wellbeing.
desperate to fix the levels so my hair grows back
