eyelashes & eyebrows--hypo or hyper?

[Guest guest]

Hi Ron,

The " little problems " can sure add up! Hair loss has been described as resulting

from changes in thyroid levels as well as being hypo, and I suppose that applies

eye brows and lashes too.

Shomon, on thyroid-info.com, describes various supplements to combat hair

loss, in particular evening primrose oil, 500 mg twice a day, which is also a

good source of essential fatty acids. Might be worth a try. I've taken in for

years to combat PMS--you probably wouldn't need it for that!--but I feel it also

helps my asthma and maybe has helped me hang on to my hair so far (dx and on PTU

since Sept. '02; now some Synthroid, too).

Best wishes,

B.
