Well, if they say you may be deficient in iodine, have they tested you for it? Sometime it can be hard to work the medical community, they all have their own way of approaching things. If you do not feel that you’re getting enough answers, perhaps it is time to find another doctor?
First thing, did they test your T3 & T4 or your FREE T3 and FREE T4? Those are different tests. Also, the biggest thing here would be have they done any antibody testing. Your blood tests for thyroid could be normal, (depending on which tests they do) but still be having complications with antibodies. Sometimes the thyroid disorders do not show up until the antibodies have done enough damage.
As for the hair, I hear ya! My 5 year old son just told me the other day that I should shave my head and start to wear a wig so that I would quit shedding so much. If that doesn't just about make you want to cry!
Just hang in there; it can be a journey for some to find solutions to their problems, so we just have to keep our chins up while we are on the crazy rollercoaster.
