Hi,
So for the past 18 months I have been dealing with scalp inflammation and shedding. It's not really a typically pattern, I'm pretty sure it is diffused thinning. It's not really noticeable to people yet other than me. My scalp feels like it's on freaking fire sometimes. Also, the sides seem to be thinning, so the sides around the ears and nape even.
I was diagnosed with hashimoto's about 1 year ago and have been taking synthroid ever since. I've been on 75mg for about 6 months now. I noticed a decrease in shedding and burning of the scalp, but now it seems to have returned. I suspect I need to adjust the meds.
Basically, I am new to this whole community, and since I am going to my endo in a few days, I would like to run a whole gambit of tests. What levels should I ask to test for that might aid in solving my scalp and hair problems, or at least point in the right direction in general?
