Hair loss to Graves Disease
I have was diagnosed as having Graves Disease in 2002 and was given a pill to shrink my thyroid. So I have been taking Levoxl ever since. I tend to shed a lot and my hair on the sides and nap always seem to grow a little and then break off. I've been taking hair vitamins for over a year to promoe hair growth and strenghten my hair. But I'm not seeing satisfactory results. Is it my medicine or do I need to take a specific vitiamin to reverse the constant breaking of hair? What can do to help my situation???? Im an African American female.
No. What I can tell you is that. I He up my dosage twice and then that got my weight back correct but now I'm losing hair and have been for 2 years now off and on. I know that side effects of my meds is shedding and hair loss. But there should be away to keep my hair?
It would help to look at the test results you have to support your thyroid problem. Do you have any to share?
