I am going to > be bald if I don't do something! Dear Rhonda, I dunno if it's just me or what but I've been feeling pretty well after one year on the timed release T3 except for continued hair loss and occasionally feeling achey in my neck . My wholistic MD told me he thought my liver was overloaded with bad estrogens and it was the underlying cause of these symptoms. I felt a bit incredulous because it didn't seem possible. But I had to admit my liver had been aching and getting worse for the past three years. So, I did a liver cleanse and I am using a couple of supplements my doc ordered for me. One, indolplex, is supposed to dissolve estrogens built up in the liver. The second, calcium d-glucarate, is made for detoxification support. Both are made by a company named Tyler out of ville, OR, for MDs, etc. I have seen them in a local pharmacy where you can get professional vitamins and health supplements products. On my own, I've added fresh lemon juice (sipped quick through a straw to get it past the teeth) from 1/2 a lemon mixed with water every morning before eating. And, knock me over! I'm feeling better! Plus, my hair loss is diminishing and my neck aches less. So does my liver. I don't know if something like this would address your problem. I would never have thought of it on my own! I guess that's what my doc gets the big bucks for! Good luck whatever you try! in LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also supposedly good for helping dissolve kidney stones and cleansing the gall bladder. But it's so highly acidic that it's a problem for your tooth enamel if used over an extended period. That's why I'm drinking it through a straw and then I chase it with water to rinse my teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Thanks for the tip about the lemon, I will have to go out and get some (with a box of straws) do you have the lemon in warm water or cold water? does it make any difference?. I have also felt less bloated and swollen on prescription diuretics and also pro biotic drinks from the store. I have a pro biotic drink each morning and I feel so much better. --- annah1149@... wrote: <HR> <html><body> <tt> In a message dated 9/22/2002 5:27:09 PM Pacific Daylight Time, <BR> rjenkins@... writes:<BR> <BR> <BR> & gt; Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to stop this? & nbsp; I am going to <BR> & gt; be bald if I don't do something! & nbsp; <BR> <BR> Dear Rhonda,<BR> <BR> I dunno if it's just me or what but I've been feeling pretty well after one <BR> year on the timed release T3 except for continued hair loss and occasionally <BR> feeling achey in my neck . & nbsp; My wholistic MD told me he thought my liver was <BR> overloaded with bad estrogens and it was the underlying cause of these <BR> symptoms. & nbsp; I felt a bit incredulous because it didn't seem possible. & nbsp; But I <BR> had to admit my liver had been aching and getting worse for the past three <BR> years.<BR> <BR> So, I did a liver cleanse and I am using a couple of supplements my doc <BR> ordered for me.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 An alternative to lemon juice that is easier on the teeth and tummy is apple cider vinegar. Given that most hypothyroids don't produce enough stomach acid, this addition helps with digestion, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Tom - interesting subject, to some of us at least, and certainly for myself. I have always been fascinated by hair, and was always very envious of those who had more than I (which was almost everyone!). Maybe it is that sign of masculinity that you suggest. I don't know. Knowing what I know now after being diagnosed with primary hypogonadism 1.5 years ago, and thanks to the wealth of information in this group, I now suspect that I may have always been on the low side of T production. Neither nut has ever been what I could call large, and in fact, one has always been almost nonexistant. I wonder if that is at least partly to explain why I was never as hairy as I thought I should be. Now, with AndroGel (10 gm/day for almost 1 year now), both nuts have become firmer, even the questionable one; albeit, not larger (no surprise there). What facial and (very little) body hair I had is now denser. I am sprouting new hair in places I never had any before! The new hair is kinda fascinating too - more like a young guy's new hair...kinda soft. Depending on the situation, I even " feel " hairy at times. My partner now calls me " Fuzzy " , which is the best compliment since " Have you lost weight? " ! I have learned that even though many on TRT do report new hair growth, that the rate of that growth varies wildly between individuals. I also suspect that the T/E ratios we keep hearing about are significant. I will wager that even in your case, that with good TRT and some patience (order of years maybe), even you will sport that full beard.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 I guess I'm the odd man out - at last count my T was 210, but most of my adult life I've had a full beard (now just a goatee), and I'm the hairiest memeber of my family - hairy chest, hair all over my back and stomach. BUT - wouldn't you know it - I have very little hair on my head. Usually a sign of T conversion to DHT, but I don't think I have enough T to actually do this. I do like being hairy, though, and my !!new!! girlfriend likes it too... Jim > > Did you ever have any hair loss before being daignosed?

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Jim, I've been hairy too. My primary hypo probably came late...reckon I became infected with HIV when I was 43; I had full beard/moustache before then. I don't know how much is know about onset of hypogonadism in HIV+ men, but I would guess that it doesn't occur immediately and perhaps correlates with stage/severity of disease. I reckon my HIV infection was picking up momentum in 1997, when I was 59, as in May 1998 I had double digit T4 cells and viral load ~500,000 copies/ml and developed frank HIV encephalopathy July, 1998. At that time I was unaware of link between HIV as cause of primary hypo...so I can't remember if my beard grew more slowly, etc. I've never liked shaving! My last winter in Chicago, '94, I let my beard grow....it covered my throat and was best protection from cold, I looked like " Gabby " . Now when I shave, maybe every other day if I have a social function, I use my Wahl professional barber's clippers without any " guard " . When I trim my beard/moustache ~7-10 dys I use #2 guard. I've not paid for a haircut in ~15 yrs....I do my own using #2 guard. Hair is very insulating from cold...when I visited my b/f in upstate NY over Christmas my normal wear was shorts as my hairy legs protected me from cold; I prefer shorts to long pants. Just my experiences....

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 I would also like to know the answer to this..... also, is it just synthroid or is levoxyl going to give the same results? ----Original Message Follows---- From: " mspac99 " <mspac99@...> Reply-hypothyroidism hypothyroidism Subject: Hair Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 02:42:45 -0000 Hi, I am a member of this group, but never seem to have time to follow much of it. I have been taking synthroid for almost 20 years. I can't say that I notice any difference if I take it or forget it. I don't notice being tired or any of the other complaints I hear about, only get tired when I should be tired. HOWEVER, I notice that my hair has been thinning out and when I mentioned it to the beauty operator, one said it happens when you get older and the other said that is just normal fallout. But it isn't. I am definitely getting thin hair. I am wondering if it is caused by hypothroidism or by synthroid. I am wondering if I should see my doctor or a specialist, a dermatologist or who. I have always had very thick hair, this is happening only lately.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hi, I have had the same problem with my hair, I was on Armour however for the first 8 months of my treatment. I switched to Synthroid because the Armour wasnt helping. Synthroid has resolved all of my symptoms for the most part except for the hair loss! In fact it seems to be a bit worse now. What is it about this disease and hair? there isnt much available information on it. I have seen a dermatologist, and she tells me that the last thing to resolve will be this. It can take up to two years! Arrrrrgggg! I will be bald by then. I have been on meds for almost a year. But, I'm certain I have had this condition for longer. She assures me that I will not lose it all, but you couldnt prove it to me.... chriss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hi ! My mom is being treated for hypothyroidism. Her hair didn't start falling out until AFTER she started taking Synthroid. I never had much of a problem with that on Levoxyl. My eyebrows were falling out some, but since I don't wax or pluck them (like that natural look) they were pretty thick. they don't look bad at all. my hair fell out a little before I was diagnosed, but it wasn't like it was a huge amount. take care!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 http://www.hotzehealth-wellness.com/8- PointTreatment/Tests/TestLowAdrenal.htm I don't know if synthroid does this as I have not looked into it yet, but I will tomorrow---but I keep on hearing people getting worse on their thyroid meds so I am looking deeper into adrenal sites to see if I can find more info for you guys. I just found this one, not as detailed as some of my past links--but still easy to read---look at the bottom--adrenal problems equal hair loss--so if you are untreated for adrenal you will continue to have hair loss even with your thyroid meds. So it may not be the thyroid meds at all????? just a thought---tina > I would also like to know the answer to this..... also, is it just synthroid > or is levoxyl going to give the same results? > > ----Original Message Follows---- > From: " mspac99 " <mspac99@y...> > Reply-hypothyroidism > hypothyroidism > Subject: Hair > Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 02:42:45 -0000 > > Hi, I am a member of this group, but never seem to have time to > follow much of it.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 you know I have not done a lot of research into this area, but I will just say that for my daughter her hair is actually coming back in. It looks a lot better than before. And you don't notice the scalp as much so I am just hoping and assuming it's coming back. Maybe the hair is adrenal and not just thyroid?? I do not know because I have not done the homework in this area, I just assumed that when she got regulated her hair would come back as well has her period. I know we are a bit too excited because we have the period back for the first time (a real one too) but it does seem that most of all her problems are dissipating. Something for you guys to think about and look into if it can help. tina > Hi, I have had the same problem with my hair, I was on Armour > however for the first 8 months of my treatment.

If you change from one to the other, your doc should titrate the dose again or at least calculate an equivalence. Hair loss is definitely a symptom of hypothyroidism. You never mentioned your dose. If it is low, you may not notice a one-day change. However, I definitely notice if I miss a dose. Chuck B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you change from one to the other, your doc should titrate the dose again or at least calculate an equivalence. Chuck, so if I changed from synthroid to levoxyl, you're saying that she should have increased the levoxyl? I went from 112 synthroid to 100 of levoxyl with the added 5 of cytomel. thanks _________________________________________________________________ Enjoy a special introductory offer for dial-up Internet access — limited time only! http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 So Synthroid is stronger than Levoxyl? What about generic and other brands, like Unithroid? Just curious in how it compares. I use the Merck Levothyroxine now instead of Synthroid (brand name here is Euthyrox} and I find it a bit stronger than Synthroid, and the generic was the weakest of them all.
