Hypothyroid - Hair falling
| Wed, 08-11-2004 - 4:10pm |
I'm hypothyroid with the antibodies present. I've been on medication for one year and I'm at a TSH level between 1 - 2, however, I'm still sleepy all the time and my hair is falling out. Why is my hair falling out if I'm on the right amount of replacement hormone?

Hi Cathy,
I've asked two doctor's about T3. One responed that T3 is just a myth and studies have been done in which there was know difference in the people that took T3 as compared to the people that took T4. The other doctor would not let me try T3 because he thinks I'm too sensitive to the T4 (when I started a higher dose, my heart was racing for the first month). So, how do you tell these doctor's to at least try the T3 in combination with the T4?
