Thank you all for your input. I do take a lot of meds. But none of it is new. I have hypo-thyroid for which I've been taking 2 gr of Armour Thyroid which did very well to get my levels in order. However the company that makes Armour Thyroid discontinued the 2 gr pill. So I was prescribed the same Armour Thyroid but in a 1gr dose and I just took 2 pills. That's when my hair started falling out. I figured the pill wasn't up to the dosage stated. I called my MD and she had me get some blood work. I did and the results showed high levels. Now she wants to cut my dosage. I'm worried because it's becoming quite noticeable. My scalp shows through. My hair hasn't been thick for a long time but this is ridiculous. I want to see a specialist who is very knowledgeable about female hair loss.
I've always led a stressful life so that's not new. I've been eating a lot of fruit and veggies lately but that's supposed to be good for you, right?
Unfortunately I have both diabetes & High blood pressure but both are controlled by medication. I have lost about 20 lbs recently but that's supposed to be good for you too, right?
So, here I am. If there is help out there someone please help me.
