Can you take Fish oil or Evening Primrose oil with your synthroid?

I'm trying to add these oils to my daily regimen as my endo swears they will help with my hair falling out. Problem is, I need to take them in the morning. I take so much other stuff that if I wait till evening I'll be taking a pharmacy!  I know you can't take vitamin or minerals with throid meds, but what about the oils?  I can't imagine it would hinder absorption but then what do I know?

I just meant that you normally aren't supposed to take any vitamin or mineral supplements within 4 hours of taking Synthroid due to the fact that some vitamins and minerals can inhibit it's absorption.
