Hi Stilllearning:

Not really. Not while thyroid levels are fluctuating and are likely not in the 'right' places. I look forward to getting my FT3 and FT4 back to what is normal for me soon now that I have lowered the MMI from 1.875 mg to 1.25 mg once daily.

{{{hugs}}}

Mmztcass,

Lol. Wow, I am not sure if I have the right shaped head for being bald. Being that my brain is not on the sharp side, lately, can you explain to me why the T3 and T4 have to be in the upper third range (or something like that) for you to be in a good place? Is this supposed to be different for everyone. Because we are all like snowflakes - individually different.
Thank you, sweetie. :-)

Hi:

For the majority of the people who have GD, they find that their FT3 needs to be at mid range and the FT4 at the upper third ranges just to not have many of those symptoms described as hypER and hypO.

Granted we did have a handful of people coming through the forums who did best with their FT4 just outside the high end range and some with just below mid range.

What I use for the levels are for the majority. People will then go from there and adjust their meds or diets to aim for getting their Free Ts to where they feel their best there at.

P.S. If your thyroid levels are still moving it can take three months for hair to stop falling.

I don't like it either when it happens, but I do what I can and keep my hair a bit shorter at just above or at shoulder length as not to weigh down too heavily.

Ok Grey hair I have had snice I was 12 so not really. I have always had thin hair so no. But if you have thin hair not thinning hair you can get time when hair come out more and you'll still have it. remember to keep getting hair cut it help it grow thick. I can suggest Products that will help your hair from breaking but if it's breaking Because it's week you might wanna look at getting your haircut You can actually have her damage from product even though you don't ever diet. you can even get her damage so bad from using your blow dryer. Give you straighten your hair a little too much everything. but I had the bleaching and dying my hair half 1,000,000 times so I actually do know some good product. Just let me know.

We’ll see what happens with next months blood test numbers. BTW, I trim my hair all the time. It’s around shoulder length. I use all the organic products. I also use argan oil to soften the gray hair. It’s just sometimes I can feel the strands falling down my back aside from picking it out of my shower drain and out of my brush and comb. I heard it was normal for hair to come out - BUT I have noticed this was definitely more than usual. I have such fair skin....and with gray/white hair in the front, it makes it look like I am getting a widows peak. Maybe a fluorescent pink or blue wig is in my future. :-)

Hi:

I also use organic products to avoid the SLS, citric acid and also methylisothiazolinone (or MIT).

I recall back a few years ago I was pretty sick on two different occasions that caused my Free Ts to drop, especially that of the FT3, and my hair came out in big gobs. It was like that for the next few months. So I used the shampoos/conditioners which had the least amount of ingredients and only either as organic or non-GMO to keep as balanced as possible.

I also had to deal with additional mineral deficiencies and had to supplement.

I am all natural with that I do not color nor bleach my hair. I am unable to tolerate the typical store brought shampoos and conditioners as all these tend to make my MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities) react.

What products do you recommend?

Mmztcass,

Thank you for the support. I, too, do not bleach, color or straighten my hair. I rarely blow dry it. I try to wash it ONLY once a week, if not longer. I stay away from the regular shampoos and conditioners. Because of 2 car accidents with neck injuries, I do not like going to salons to have my hair washed or cut. I wind up trimming my own hair and putting it into a ponytail. The top I lightly twist and clip to the top. I don’t like hair in my face. I am usually getting dirty doing something (like yard work) and prefer that my hair doesn’t cover my eyes or get in my mouth,

You know, it’s funny, my mom (may she Rest In Peace) was from a generation that dyed their hair. And, I always got flack for allowing my grey to grow out. After reading up that the red dye in her hair dye could be carcinogenic.....it only goes to show you that sometimes vanity can be unhealthy.

Take Care.

Hi all:

Here's a link that I've pulled up:

http://www.naturalendocrinesolutions.com/articles/3-ways-stop-thyroid-hair-loss-graves-disease-hashimotos-thyroiditis/

I can't tolerate Evening Prmrose oil, or Black Currant oil or Borage as all three makes me feel a bit hypER.

I do consume a wild alaskan Salmon oil and have no problem with it.

Sorry I didn't see that you actually write back to me I'm actually bad head TIGI Urban anti dotes. And you have to watch about using too much of those oil treatment in your hair that can actually cause you to have Too soft of hair. When you have kids off to her if you do a lot of damage to. I've also heard a little that you know some What problems can actually cause you to lose hair But usually Within a few months I've heard you can actually start growing it back. Also you should look up What is your medication side effects are. Some medications do actually have that Problem. then talk to your doctor. I'm even going to talk to my doctor about the fitting here I've got and hopefully maybe he can help. There are things out there that can help. But one of the best things that you can do is also Stop worrying about it. Talk to your doctor and calm down. Stressing yourself out can actually make you lose hair more. Look at this way Let's say wigs are in your future. So what You'll still be gorgeous Ya still be beautiful Even without the wig
