I have had progressively worse hair loss for quite a while now (%26gt;6 mos.). My head is really starting to look like it is actually balding. Being a female, this doesn't run in my family. I am 35 years old. I have sporadic burning scalp pain, too....if that description makes any sense!
A doctor of mine asked about my thyroid levels. I told him they didn't seem suspicious, evidently, from previous general blood tests run by other doctors. He says blood thyroid levels can change within that period of time and also that blood tests aren't always accurate. He has told me to take my basal temperature each day for two weeks. I will then go back. Does anyone know the oral basal temperature level at which hypothyroid is typically diagnosed?
My biggest concern at this moment is the extreme hair loss. If the doctor prescribes me medicine to increase my thyroid levels, will my hair grow back??? Please, anyone with experience or knowledge of this, share. Thanks.
Will My Hair Grow Back After Starting Thyroid Meds?
they will! i too was thyroid meds (anti-thyroids) before but all my hairs were still there.
