hair loss and thyroid damage
my hair has been falling out. I am 10 weeks off treatment.Dr. said it could be damage to thyroid because interferon can damage your thyroid gland. Anybody experience this.
Like Meki said alot of people experience thyroid problems, myself included I developed hypothyroidism during tx..and lost about 1/3 of my hair. Although my doctor did rountine tests to watch my thyroid I noticed that it was off myself. tired all the time . weight gain, thinning eyebrows (especially at the outer sides) so I had him retest my thyroid and found out it was off. Now on synthroid and doing good. but this is a permanate thing. Did your doctor not warn you of any of this?
I also would like to ask a question, you said in your post that you are 10weeks off treatment . Are you done or 10 weeks into treatment?
