Heather - I have had a nodule on my thyroid since before 2010, and it is being watched but no action to date. The endocrinologist recommends against action on asymptomatic nodules. My thyroid hormones are checked twice a year, and the nodule each year in case anything changes. How are you proceeding with the nodule?
I also had a bout of Graves Disease (hyperthyroid) brought on by heavy metal poisoning in 2011-2012. It caused many serious symptoms including hair loss. After the source of the metal (bad hip implants) were removed in 2012, the metal was excreted from my body & the Graves went away.
Thankfully my endocrinologist is okay with conservative measures, because the usual cure for Graves is to zap your thyroid with radiation and put you on meds for the rest of your life.

@heathert Heather...I would guess that the hair loss would be related to the thyroid condition. Mine had a large impact on my general health. How are you proceeding with the nodule? Sorry to hear you have a problem. Kate
