I had them on the top, too... Alfalfa hairs!!! hehehehehe they would get to be two or three inches long before they'd topple over and lay flat with the rest of my hair...as it all grew out the stuff that replaced my receding hair line at the temples... you could just watch that as it grew and eventually caught up with the rest of my hair....

cytomel is a synthetic t3 hormone that is prescribed by the doc.

when i was taking only the synthroid my hair started falling out. my

levels looked okay to the doc, but i still had hypo symptoms.

someone else could explain this better than i can lol, but i can

try. synthroid is a synthetic t4 thyroid hormone. when you take t4,

your body is supposed to convert and break it down to make t3

hormone. some people cant convert properly so they need to take that

t3 hormone directly. my thyroid was removed years back and i think

in my case after being on synthroid or one of its generics since 5th

grade (like 20 years or so), that my body just doesnt do that job

effectively anymore, or at least i suspect to be so. there are

others out here who can explain the whole conversion process down to

molecules and all of these amazing details. do you have problems

with hair loss too? what do you take for medication?
