Other Autoimmune Diseases

[Guest guest]

Hi :

I took Avonex for a time but it was what actually

innitiated/aggravated my Graves disease as well as thrust me into a

false menopause (actually documented). When I stopped the medicine

my periods returned to normal but my thyroid was never the same.

Hair loss and brittle fingernails are a symptom of an overactive

thyroid as well. How are your eyebrows? Thinning eyebrows are a

dead give away to a thyroid connection. May want to have it checked

out. It's a blood test. I am not familiar with hidradentis

suppurativa, what is it?

This LDN is all over the web helping things from autism to

autoimmune hair loss. Kinds spooky that I never heard of it before,

because I have been scanning the web for alternative cures for over

5 years.

Anyway, my doctor appointment with MD is tommorrow. Wish me luck.
