RE: Wondering if anyone has had this side effect?

[Guest guest]

Even though your blood work has come back normal, this could mean you have a zinc deficiency. A number of people have mentioned this ie thinning of hair etc., and Dr Bob Lawrence has always suggested to increase your zinc intake. I increased mine as I found recently my hair was ‘thinning’ and now I don’t suffer from hair loss. The other thing this may indicate is thyroid problems. It’s not likely what you’re experiencing is caused by LDN. Try increasing your zinc and see if that helps? Jayne Crocker www.LDNNow.comImportant!

Thinning, patchy eyebrows is definitely a symptom of being hypothyroid. You should request a thyroid panel consiting of" TSH, T4, T3 and also tests for auto-immune thyroid diseases like Hashimotos. (I am hypothyroid and have low-grade Hashimotos.

One main indication of hypothyroidism is " thinning of the outer one third of the

eyebrows. " Take a close look at your lab results (did they do freeT3, freeT4 in

addition to the TSH). You should also get tested for thyroid antibodies at some

point. The reference ranges----are you at the top, in the middle, the bottom?

Doctors have different ways of interpreting the lab results---some just " wait

and see---retest in 6 months " and some are willing to treat you if your labs

show a tendency. It's good to pursue this, especially if you are having other

hypo symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, chronic constipation or other digestive

issues, etc.

Hi

I have encountered this due to what I thought was just Hypothyroid - I have been tested and my thyroid appears to be on track. It certainly left me scratching my head.

Then, I had the CCSVI procedure...

My left eyebrow is growing back now (4 months after the procedure).

For the past 3 years+ I have thought of 'MS' as a vascular condition - I no longer believe in it in the way Neurologists would have me think of it.

Once normal and REAL bloodflow is reinstated to people's systems, it makes sense that things like hair regrowth happens.

- did you have the FULL panel for thyroid testing?  If they just did the basic TSH test alone it is a poor indicator of whether or not you have a thyroid issue.

If it is the third outside part ,then it is thyroid. It is

called the sign of hertoghe after the grand father of our doctor
