Thinning In Hair And Sheds Everywhere, Thyroid Problem. Low T3. Any Solution ?

Hello I am 26 years old and I am having issues with my hair it has thinned out quite a bit and sheds everywhere. I also have had a lot happen in 2009 I had major brain surgery. It was a right frontal lope Astrocytoma . I thought I had a thyroid issue i got it checked but the doc said just my low t3 wasn t an issue. I am having a lot of thyroid symptoms though. I figure my situation is pretty complex. I have so many symptoms physical and mental and emotional that I m not sure i will ever get to the bottom of anything. I was hoping you might be able to shed some light.

Hello.
Thanks for the query.
Thyroid problem is one of the major cause of hair fall.
stress adds on to this.
you need specific treatment fot these condition.
I can suggest you additional supportive treatment for hair fall.
Vitamins are required for normal growth of hair. Specially vit B 12 that is cobalamine is very important.
1.You can take cobalamine tablet. one tablet daily.
2. please apply minoxidil 5 % solution twice daily.
This will improve your hair and also there will be regrowth.
Only thing is that it will take some time to show its effect.
Thank you
