Yeah very oily. Also my facial hair was always very soft. Now it is very hard , stiff and prickly.Do you have oily forehead as well?
Fascial tension combined with androgenic stimulation causes hair to be forced to "downsize" to survive. If you have high androgens and generally good posture thne the only place you really notice the problem is on the scalp, which partially carries tension from the whole back side of the body.
How does one get rid of facial tension though? For a few years now I've constantly felt tension along the forehead and temples.
Ultimately, without high thyroid function, no tissue, muscle can relax fully. A prolonged low thyroid state leads to a serotonin dominance physiology, and serotonin is directly implicated in neuromuscular excitation, and cause chronic contraction of the occipitofrontalis, neck and side scalp muscles. Which is why it is implicated in rls, bruxism, Parkinson’s etc. When thyroid is low we can’t retain magnesium so. Topical magnesium can help and be soothing, but it’s a losing game if the thyroid function is never restored to optimal levels.
Magnesium baths have been helping me tremendously.Unfortunately more familiarity i.e. a lot of overall body tension - especially in the shoulders . I've often asked myself why I can't seem to relax. I've been dosing magnesium on the underside of my forearms before bed, but right now I'm more focused on correcting my diet to assist in thyroid recovery.
You remove curvature from spine. The whole s-spine thing is guidelines to make you chronically sick. You want a fully mobile spine, which naturally sits completely straight if you are not bending. Yogis talked about this thousands of years ago, that your posture and looseness is of utmost importance. And without first achieving yoga of the body there is no use in trying to go for yoga of the mind (meditation) as it won't be possible.How does one get rid of facial tension though?

No, we weren't talking about Cynomel but another similar T3 product which doesn't need to be broken up so I didn't use the quote out of context.No need to be confrontational. If you’re happy with 6mg of T3, great for you. But I-think you’re using that quote out of context, he probably meant that breaking a cynomel tablet in fourths and taking it with food is fine and convenient. (since it’s under 10mcg of T3 at once, and I think T3’s half-life is a couple hours) The 2-3mcg is the idea of approximating an optimal hourly dose, where you’re nibbling on a 25 mcg tablet throughout the day. Two different approaches.

I'm having trouble finding more sources for this claim, but apparently hirsutism/hypertrichosis can be a side effect of acetazolamide/diamox. This drug which is used to treat mountain sickness causes the body to retain carbon dioxide. Interestingly, thyroxine is also listed. Any thoughts?
"Drugs that can cause excessive hair growth (hirsutism or hypertrichosis) include acetazolamide, anabolic steroids (eg, danazol, nandrolone, stanozolol), androgenic progestogens or oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) containing progestogen (eg, norethindrone and levonorgestrel found in first- and second-generation OCPs), cyclosporine, diazoxide, glucocorticoids, drugs containing heavy metals, minoxidil, penicillamine, phenytoin, tamoxifen, and thyroxine."
Approach to the management of idiopathic hirsutism
Acetazolamide is a drug artificially raising CO2 levels by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase. Thyroxine can actually worsen thyroid status of course, no surprise there.
I wonder why artificially raising CO2 would cause hair growth
It causes hirsutism which is excessive body hair growth on the face and body as opposed to hair on the head. Its because it is stressful to the body of course. There's one thing to make more CO2 naturally from consuming carbohydrates, but taking a drug to do it is entirely different.
