Badwolf303@KrazyTheeAlaskan Hashimoto’s can be followed by other autoimmune diseases in time. I assume you’re already seeing a Dr for your thyroid. Are you seeing an Endocrinologist? Also Find a dermatologist who specializes in hair loss. Good luck
@marcibadwolf303 only my fam doc. Is an endocrinologist someone that my dr refers me to?
@KrazyTheeAlaskan Depends on your insurance, I think.
RCSshiiit. diagnosed with hypothyroid this year.
@RCS welcome to my world. We found mine this March. Was chatting with @growingjohnsonsak about it a few months ago. I didnt know this is a huge American woman thing!
Anyway, my dr started will total suppression of my thyroid and said we were working to 1.0. I think i'll do better around 2.0. I started at 4.8 😳😳im on dosage attempt number 6 and hopefully have found the right level. I really want my hair to grow back. Im using nioxin now, too.

@KrazyTheeAlaskan @growingjohnsonsak
are those your TSH numbers? My TSH has been high for years (5 - 7), and no one took it seriously. . . . and yeah, I've been losing hair too, but I still have more hair and am fitter than many guys my age, so hair loss, weight gain, and muscle aches were just shrugged off as getting old. It wasn't until I started re-absorbing my teeth from the root that docs were finally like "whoa, maybe there is something going on". FFS
@RCS @growingjohnsonsak yes. I had been complaining about something in my throat for a few years. I had a swallow study done. Nothing. My Grama had thyroid problems and had her's removed in her mid 50s. So keeping that in mind i paid attention, i was adamant my levels be tested. They were in the 2s then skyrocketed to 4.8 last winter.
