Has anyone here been on thyroid meds and experienced hair loss? Or know anyone who has experienced this? I’ve had some major thyroid issues over the last year. I’m going through treatment right now and over the last few months have been experiencing significant hair loss. I’ve probably lost about half my hair and I’m now starting to notice areas where I can see my scalp more, my hair is noticeably thinner. My doctor keeps saying once my levels are back to normal, it should stop. But I don’t know how much longer I can go with losing clumps every day. It’s really starting to get me down. I absolutely dread taking a shower and styling my hair, because that's when most of it comes out. I’ve been able to hide a lot of my symptoms this far, but if I lose too much hair, I’m not sure what I’m going to do.
I’m desperately searching for someone who has been through this and can reassure me.

YES!!!!! My mom and I were just talking about her thyroid issues and related hair loss! It is a normal side affect and can be really annoying. My MIL has no hair on her legs and swears that it is from her thyroid problem. (My mom tells MIL that it's just because they're old ladies now! Lol!) There are hair restoring options out there. My mom uses Nioxin for shampoo and a generic hair regrets system for women that she buys at Walmart. Other than that, there isn't much else I can tell you, other than you are NOT alone with this!
