What Should I Do After Loosing All My Hair, Eyebrows, Eye Lashes Post Thyroid Medicines?

I have lost all my hair, eyebrows, eye lashes, I have a bald head. Every where. I was given thyroid med, and the pharamist told me my thyroid was ok after looking at my test. She said the could do worse for me. I lost my job, I saw 9 different doctors, now I am broke and look different. What should I do.

Hi,

Treatment for thyroid-related hair loss usually involves being properly medicated for the condition. In most cases, getting your thyroid hormones adjusted will reverse the hair loss, though it may take several months for the hair to grow back.
Along with medication, there are different home remedies you may try to slow hair loss or regenerate hair growth.

Boost iron. Ferritin levels are associated with your iron stores. ...
Treat nutritional deficiencies. ...
Eat well. ...
Add anti-inflammatory foods. ...
Consider herbs. ...
Try essential oils. ...
Watch iodine intake. ...
Treat hair gently.
Dont be disheartened and visit your endocrinologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
