Hypothyroidism Hair Loss



That's me (bra strap showing, how elegant!) over a year ago (going to a ball hence the sparkly dress) but what I'm really trying to show is that my hair recovered from the awful stage of hypothyroidism being diagnosed where literally clumps of it were disappearing down the plughole every time I had a shower & no matter how carefully I brushed it it came away in my hands.
I know how depressing hypothyroid related hair loss can be...really, I do. I used to sit in tears as I thought I would end up bald as a coot!
But, you know, your hair WILL grow back, maybe not as lustrous as before if I'm completely honest, but enough so that you don't look like a baldy old wifie!
Take heart - plus maybe some evening primrose oil too. I think it helped me

Oh my Happy Thanksgiving. I was diagnosed yesterday. I have been SO sick! My Antibody numbers are over 300 and my TSH T4 is 19. I have lost my hair, my strength, my mind and my figure and my husband. I was just sitting here at the computer alone and crying. At the age of 54 I feel like I'm 154. I just started synthroid this morning. I will keep reading and with that want to find hope.

About a year ago I noticed significant hair loss, mainly on the top. I'm sure I inherited this trend from my mother. No matter what I did, the top of my hair looked very thin and made me extremely unhappy. So I went on the internet to look for what I could do and found Generic Propecia.

Your hairs are looking stunning now, does not look like you have big hair loss earlier. It is only Primrose oil or some medication also worked.

I'm a hypothyroid patient for 10 years and i found out that hypothyroidism gives raise to hair loss because in this issue, the metabolism is slower down in scalp follicles and that leads to a reduction in hair strength and so in quality. This entire theory ultimately ends in releasing the hair from its root or follicle.
