I am depressed about so much hair loss???

[Guest guest]

I was kept hypothyroid so damn long that I am practically bald on

top of my head. It is so hard to fix your hair when there isn't much

to fix. I have to put gel in my hair because it is so thin and the

gel makes it thick.

It is not falling out like it was before. I KEEP CHECKING FOR NEW

HAIR GROWTH BUT THERE ISN'T ANY. EEEEEK!!!

Does anyone have this problem? I think a wig would be a good thing

to have right now.

> I buy & use wigs & hairpieces from a Young's catalog all the

time now for the past few years while waiting for my dark brown very

short hair to grow out & go all grey. I love them.

> Tho I still have a full head of hair but it's rather fine, not

thin tho. I have bunches of very fine straight hair. I'm getting to

the point now where I don't need the wigs or hair pieces much

anymore tho because my hair's grown out way longer now & all gone as

naturally grey as it going to get for while.

> I guess I'm lucky I still have a full head of hair & haven't lost

any that I know of. Just body hair & eyebrows/ eyelashes gone

mostly.

I will just have to get me a a Young catalog. I don't know

sometimes I wonder if it is not from taking that darn radioactive

iodine. Oh well guess I will never know. Yeah I am 51 and have gray

streaks. LOL LOL

Well, I wouldn't say I'm " back to normal. " lol I'm 43 and have peri

symptoms, too, so I have many moments where I'm " too hot. " I'm

basically on a temp roller coaster, so it's nearly impossible for me

to know if my meds are too much, or too little. But symptoms are

coming back as well: muscle and joint aches.... to name a couple, and

I wonder if I should increase, or decrease the meds.

The hair loss problem (for me) could very well stem from not having

enough, or having too much thyroid hormone.
