Have to add Dermatologist to my list. I saw her yesterday. I also had excessive hair shedding when my symptoms started. My hair loss is improving….but we don’t know why. I am taking a small dose off Minoxidil.

Before I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism, I was loosing my hair as well and had hives on my body and was gaining weight by the minute! Once I was diagnosed, I began taking Synthroid 112 mcg and Cytomel 5 mcg and my weight began to drop off and my hair is growing back thicker now and my hives are all but gone. I was feeling jittery, so I asked to have my medication dose lowered and now take 100 mcg of Synthroid and went off the Cytomel. I’ve maintained my weight and no hives. I don’t know what medication Minoxidil is for, but if it’s helping your hair grow back, that’s a plus! I am taking supplements for hair, skin and nails by Perque. Working great!
