Hair loss from under active thyroid

[Emmalizzie831]

POSITIVE STORIES ONLY PLEASE AS I AM REALLY STRUGGLING WITH ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AT THIS MINUTE IN TIME :(

So, I finally went to the doctors after losing a lot of my hair. She did some bloods and it came back that I had an underactive thyroid, I am 36 years old.

I have been on levothyroxine coming up to 4 weeks now but I feel like my hair is coming out more. Just looking for positive stories about hair coming back thicker? I am holding on for some positive results as it’s stressing me out.

A few other of the symptoms that I have is severe depression, exhaustion, cannot lose weight, aching joints, always cold. Some of these have improved but not the weight loss and the hair loss. I have heard that REGAINE topical treatment can help… but am I being too hasty, should I wait a few more months with my medication?

if anyone can give me some advice or words of support I would be forever grateful.

Note: I go for a blood test in two weeks time to see if the dosage is correct.

@silverclock222 I stopped
my biotin a week before my blood tests as advised….
So should I not take biotin at all to help my Hair loss? Is that what you’re saying?

Mine flopped out in chunks but once Levo kicked in it grew back much better than before - and a nicer colour.

I think yr TSH should be 1 OP.

@Supersimkin2 its been exactly a month since my levels came back normal…hair still coming out but no where near as much?
all other symptoms have resolved…..
it says they should be between 0.49 and 5.23 and they are around 2
