Hypothyroidism, Other Symptoms Including Hairloss, Took Alopathy And Homoeopathy Medicines, No Improvement In Hair Fall. How To Regrow Hair?
Hi, I 30 yrs old & have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism 7 months after delivery & initial prescribed Elextroxin 100 mcg & then Thyronorm 100 mcg. I have been taking this medication for past 4 years. Even after starting with thyroid medication there where issues like hair thinning, too much hair fall, inability to sleep / disturbed sleep, feeling tried, to much anger, headache, sugar carvings, feeling hunger/thirsty always, restlessness etc... For these symptoms I have been taking homeopathy medication for almost 1 1/2 years & most of them symtoms have reduced except for hair loss . Blood test results shows TSH & T4 in normal levels & doctor has asked to continue with Thyronorm 100 mcg life long with regular blood tests. My hair loss giving me nightmares . There is no hair growth length wise or volume. I might become bold in 1 year if this continues, Is my thyroid / thyroid medication causing the hair loss. Is there a way to control and regrow my hair. Any suggestions will help me a lot. Thanks
