I lost a lot of hair while hyper. Not sure about hypo. I would suppose that anytime your levels are off that it could happen.

I posted this on here already but maybe this will help u too ...
I have had this problem and have been in tears over it .
My Dermotologist told me to use Mens Rogaine foam. It doesnt help it grow back faster but it will stop it frm falling out . It did work! I also dont wash my hair as much. When I do wash my hair I use Nioxin Shamp Cond An scalp treatment (which is ok to use when your using Rogaine) You can but this at a beauty supply like Harmons. They do have a websit Nioxin.com (ppl that have lost hair from medical problems had suggested this to me its also vry good)
Also for Vitmins Biotin is vry good for your hair (ask ur doc0 Ive also been looking into Evening Primrose Oil (its a herb I go to my endo 2morrow and Im going to ask if I can take this) It was in the book living Well with Graves also helps subside the hair loss For that STRAW LIKE feeling how to get rid of that is Cholestrol Treatment ( You can but in CVS WALGREENS) and a light leave in Cond like Infusium 23

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
