Hi all,
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, I am so grateful for this forum, it’s members and the information shared here.
I am a 34 yo female who’s been suffering from hair loss for a few years now and probably longer. What started out as TE gave way to AGA, thinning hair growth/miniaturized hair. I suspect low thyroid due to low temps and low hr and have been experimenting with Tyromax for about 8 months. I had worked my way up to about 2.5 grains worth of a dose and was feeling great on it. But I got concerned when it seemed like i was losing too much weight so I lowered the dose to 1.5/2 grains.Around this time I had labwork done it came back reading:
TSH— .308
Free T4– .75
Obviously my doctor now thinks I am trending towards hyperthyroidism. From what I understand my TSH is in an ideal range according to Peat, however I don’t know how my free T4 computes with that.
My hair is now shedding abnormally and I really don’t know what to do. My hair is getting to a point where my scalp is visible if I wear it a certain way and I am terrified of what the outcome may be. I have continued to take the Tyromax as I dont want to stop cold turkey and it seems to be working for me otherwise however I am conflicted on whether I should stop or lower the dose or what... sigh I dream of a day when this does not rule my life and hold me back. It becomes all consuming at times and really bums me out. I try to look at the bigger picture and take heed the lessons I am learning from this but it’s tough, I just want to get better, resolve this.
Thanks again, very much for your time, any input is much appreciated.
Good night,
R
