I think that your doc is right. It's the thyroid problem that is

disturbing your hormone situation. It adversly affects adrenal

fucntion, which can result for some people in high testosterone.

It can take about a year or so after getting thryoid right for the

hair to return to normal. So, be patient. Once hairs become very

thick and dark, they seem to want to stay that way.

If you are worried about the testosterone, you can try what others

suggested. Also, grapefruit is said to help lower testosterone.
