it was 32 (10-140) about 3 months ago before starting hc and armour

but i have had excruciatingly heavy periods with the hypo and

suspect it hasn't gotten any better. i have read it should be

between 70-90 and from your post just looked up the relationship

between it and hair loss too so ty.

as silly as it sounds i need some encouragement to take iron

supplementation. i got over the worried hump with all the so called

negatives of steroid treatment in taking the hc and now worry about

side effects with iron, though i know i need it...so any stories of

how it's helped vs all horrible side effects i've read online would

be appreciated!

My ferritin is 141, and my hair was so thin at one point I looked like

a chemo patient. (eyebrows are sparse too) Both finally started

growing back when I did both adrenal support and raised my thyroid. I

think it was the adrenal support that allows the thyroid to the cells,

that really made the difference. You will get there, it just takes

time, and LOTS of patience.

Low cortisoll seems ot be a trigger for hairloss even more than hypo,

btu one major one is low Ferritin. Have you had this checked recently?

I agree with this. From my experience I can go " hyper " on even a

moderate dose of thyroid when my cortisol is too low. And my hair

loss will increase. I would lower thyroid a bit and see if this makes

a diff with the hair loss. Also track your temps and bp/hr regularly

thru the day to see if you can spot low cortisol.
