Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hi Mania, Sounds like you haven't hit the perfect mix or dose yet. My hair came back to it's old thickness when I added cytomel to the mix. Same goes for the dry skin/hair/eyes. You may also want to try supplementing with omega3 tablets.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hi Miana, sorry to hear that things are not much better for you yet. I have been on medication for almost two years...and I still have very dry hair and a lot of swelling at the ankles... I still lose a considerable amount of hair, but not like it was a year ago. I have tried so many different things...it just seems so hard to get back on track. Have you noticed a change in the color of your hair? Mine has gotten very grey.

I really don't know what to do suppliment wise. So taking some extra omega3 might help the hair problem?? I really don't know where to begin on possibly finding my perfect dose/mix yet. I know I need something. I shed more than my cat, and can't seem to lose an ounce of weight. Miana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know what to do with mine. He's the only one in my area, and is a total you-know-what. I hear occasionally that I'm supposed to be feeling better. Or something is suppposed to have improved by now (I've been on the meds for close to two years now), but I'm completely the opposite. Nope, I haven't noticed any difference in my hair colour. Just that it's alot thinner. I used to not be able to see my scalp hardly at all, my hair was so thick and soft. Now I have really old hay for hair. Nothing seems to give it any moisture. What I was told by my dermatologist is ... if your hair is doing this - falling out, intensely dry. It means there is a problem elsewhere in your system that's not working right. Your body shuts off the " supply " to your hair and is sending it to whatever is needing it elsewhere in your body. Blessings, Miana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
