Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if extra hair growth, under my chin and on my upper

neck can be contributed to all this Thyca stuff. Can it be because of

fluctuating hormones, is there any link between the two? Anything I

would need to do with meds or do I just keep going to the

electolosist? Anyone else ever have this?

Just Curious and hairy :o)

Thanks,

Tracey :o)

Hi Tracey,

I have very thick hair....always hair in the hairbrush. But since I

went hypo (On week 6), I notice, no hair ever comes out...kind of

like when I was pregnant. I'm curious to see what happens after the

RAI and when I go on synthroid. I did notice I don't need to shave my

legs as often either.

TT (Pap) 10/19/01

RAI (tomorrow) 11/30/01 150 mCl (metes in cervical lymph nodes)

Current TSH 70

Linn here: For years after my operation I had hardly any eyebrows, pubic hair

or leg hair. The eyebrows I missed-looked sort of like Orphan Annie. But the

other hair I didn't miss. Just a few months ago I developed a cyst on the

other half of my thyroid that was left in but supposedly supressed. My meds

were upped to a dose that I have never previously been able to handle and now

I have all of my hairs coming back-profusely. Back to shaving and plucking

and waxing again. I guess it is related. So now I have eyebrows, but also

palpitations in spite of beta blockers and generally don't feel well-wiped

out tired and faint feeling all the time. My muscles shake like crazy when I

work them as if they have run out of oxygen or sugar. Also muscle pain all

the time. Next endo visit in a week so I can find out just what my numbers

are now. What an interesting road we are on.

P.S. God Bless on-he will be missed.

Linn in Pa.

places I dont want ie my face arms.It was so

noticeable straight after my tt .I asked my endo about

it but she said no connection.but there has to be

there has been a dramatic difference .I am now having

laser hair removal but its yet another side affect

from my cancer that is not good. kim

Tracey,

I had the same problem for several months following treatment, while

my doctor was trying to get my meds adjusted. It's definitely hormone

related! After we finally found the right dose of Synthroid and I'd

been on it for two or three months, I stopped growing hair in unusual

places (I found the moustache particularly depressing).

Have you had blood work done lately?

Thank you to all of those that responded, it seems there must be some

connection, whether we lose or gain hair. Ellen to answer your

question, I just had my blood drawn yesterday, which is the first

time since my RAI and starting on Levoxyl, so we'll find out how my

blood levels are soon.

Thanks again to everyone!
