Re: Being REDHEAD and hypothyroid

[Guest guest]

Me! My father was an orange read head, I have had red hair of one shade or

another all my life as well. Not sure how far back it goes, but that kind of

red hair with freckles is a recessive trait that one parent must be redhead

& the other carrying it for it to show up. Weird, I know little of my

natural father's health, my Mother's side was where I inherited the thyroid

problems from. She was dark brown haired and very French looking.

I have/had a dark chestnut colored hair, with many red highlights,

originally. However, it is my two blondish haired daughters with the light

eyes (not brown) and fair skin who got Hashimoto's, as well as me, and I

also have very fair skin. My youngest girl from a second marriage has the

darker chestnut hair and dark brown eyes like me, and darker skin like HER

father's side, and has no indication of thyroid disease, we don't think, at

this point. She had no learning problems in school either. Both of my

light eyed girls did. Remember that the children most often affected by ADD

and ADHD are also statiistically inclined to have the fair hair, fair skin,

and color range blue eyes also. See any connection there with thyroid

disease? I do. One of the two daughters from that first marriage has a

definite natural red streak in her hair, and the rest is almost a strawberry

blonde, the other one has a very light brown to blonde, but I have to keep

in mind that she would be carrying the gene for the reddish hair because

THEIR father had the shock of curly red hair, with a tinge of brown in it.

My mother's side of the family is strong for Indian and Scotch heritage, but

my father's side is very strong for German, Nordic, Indian, and tell me that

the Forsythes aren't very English, hehe! It seems to me as though in almost

every case, that the strong German and Nordic heritage is always strong for

thyroid disease.

Well...before I had the prematurely gray of hypo...I had auburn hair - nice

reddish highlights. My mom with Hashi's...the same way...reddish hair that

went gray. My Dad...who I have suspected of having low thyroid too (they tend to

marry I understand)...also reddish highlights.

Hmmmmm, I'm a red head too. I know that we are harder to put under anesthesia

and have a higher pain tolerance, but I didn't know that thyroid issues were

part of the package too.

Ther are some redheads in my family, although not in the immediate

family. However, my almost black, hair had read highlights, that is

until it turned gray. I started graying early. I am 50 as of last

Friday.

Maybe we should do a poll something like: My natural hair (before

graying, if applicable) was (1) Was Red, (2) Had Red highlights, (3)

Neither

Just to answer your poll question:

1) I was always a stawberry blonde with more red highlights than blonde. Now I'm

a more red strawberry blonde thanks to Miss Clairol... or whatever the

hairdresser uses.

I have black eyes and medium skin. My adoptive sister has green eyes and

blonde hair and has no thyroid disease. Figures I would never fit the norm

I'v never had an operation so I can't answer this. I do know when I

have dental work it takes a long time for the novacaine or whatever

they use to even start wearing off.

On my dad's side I am Dutch and German. On my mother's side I am

English, French, ish and Welsh. Thanks to the French side I have

brown hair and brown eyes and medium skin. Don't sunburn easy.

Also before my mother passed away (when I was in my early 20's) she

noticed I was going grey.

=================================

Another redhead here. I read on a website about a year ago that having red hair

is a risk factor for thyroid problems. I know many people with thyroid problems

that have red hair, so maybe there's something to this.

It's either thyroid or adrenal related, I think.
