Hair Loss with Change of Thyroid Medication
by CeCe1015, Jul 29, 2009 09:10PM
I have been seeing a doctor for bio-identical hormones and have been on them for about 7 months. My problem is that recently after being on Synthroid (low dose of 50 mcg.) for about 17 years and my doctor had me gradually reduce the synthroid medication over a few months from 50 to 25 mcg per day while taking the Armour (60 mgs). I have now been only on Armour for the last 2 weeks, and started to experience a large amount than usual of hair loss when I comb it. Is this normal or what does this hair loss indicate? Is it temporary?

Would you like to share your actual lab results? Would love to take a look at them. :)
I agree - post your labs
I NEVER lost hair on my head although I got hair like straw when Hypo.
But my hair didnt grow under my armpits , legs etc whist hypo either.
Its weird the way meds change things.
If I think about it.... I GREW hair in places I didn't want it when hypo'd
and my eyebrows used to be thick and lucious - now I have a chunk here and a chunk there.... and its growing in the places I pluck them out!!
My chin has about 10 stringy white wires that seem to grow overnight.. I am plucking so much there - it doesn't even hurt anymore!
Enough!!! -- ..........gross - I am getty pretty graphic LOL
Maintance stinks now being hypo on meds..... giggle ..giggle
