Hashimoto's and hair loss

[HeartofHaleth]

I'm back again! :)

I know there have been threads on this before, but I'd love some more input. A little over a month ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, after dealing with the symptoms for ~3 years. I'm now taking NatureThroid (desiccated thyroid medication) and have noticed a definite difference in energy and cognitive function. For several months now my hair has slowly been losing thickness, and I was wondering if this was related, and if proper medication will help with that issue. Thanks!

If your thyroid is out of whack, yes it can lead to hair loss. :flower: I hope you get proper meds for it and will get it under control soon. :)

Thank you! I'm still waiting to see if some other issues will get resolved as well, fingers crossed!
