Hi @lora754, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease are autoimmune disorders, which can sometimes result in hair loss. I'm tagging fellow members like @quiteachiver75 @annieliz @mcmurf2 @melrosejagger @burnt2acrisp @capitalasper who also have experience with Graves' Disease and who may have some tips to offer about stopping the hair loss.

The hair loss can sometimes be reversed after your thyroid hormone levels are normalized. But Graves' can be tricky. What treatment(s) have you had for Graves? Do you have other health conditions that may also be contributing to the hair loss?

Hi! I had radiation ablation in 2011 and was diagnosed with Graves also, with the Graves ophthalmology in 2013. No other health conditions. Doesn't seem to matter if my level are stable or not. Thank you for answering!
