Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Roni, You said your hair has been growing in since you switched to T3. I am so excited to have recently started Cytomel. I'm taking iron as well (Ferritin was low at 23). I'm so hopeful this will provide an answer! Did you have your other hormones tested as well? At one time I had my Androgens checked and they were very high. Did you ever find out the actual cause or hypothesized link to your hair loss?To: RT3_T3 Sent: Thu, August 26, 2010 10:04:54 PMSubject: Re: Has Anyone Suffered Major Hair Loss from Synthroid / Armour? I lost hair on T4 too. I switched to T3 only when my RT3 problem was discovered. My hair has been growing in. I have my fingers crossed it continues. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge! Just because something isn't seen doesn't mean it's not there<> Subject: Has Anyone Suffered Major Hair Loss from Synthroid / Armour?To: RT3_T3 Date: Thursday, August 26, 2010, 7:33 PM I would LOVE to solve the mystery of my hair loss. I was not losing hair when I was diagnosed w/ sub-clinical hypo and hashi. My TSH hasn't ever been higher than 6.0. When I take the dose of Syn the doc. recommends, my hair falls out in droves - I have lost half my hair. When I stop the meds, the shedding stops but I feel horrible. recommended I get my Ferritin up (it's low at 23) and then take cytomel only. I have a RT3 of 380 (350 is highest range). Could it be that the RT3 and Iron is the problem? I have been going crazy for 3 years with this. My hair is horrible and almost gone! I just seems unlikely that I'm the only one this affects. thanks for ANY input!!! ------------------------------------We are not medical professionals here, just patients sharing our experiences.
