Hi, I have Hyperthyroid and my doctor put me on Methimazole 5mg 4 times a day. Since starting to take the meds on day number 2, I noticed my hair falling out. Not a little a lot, I called my doctor and he indicated that this will happen but once my Thyroid is adjusted, this will no longer be the case. He states it should take about 4 weeks. My concerns as a 31 year old female, has anyone ever gone bald from this? What if all my hair falls out? Can I take something else? I read that it could be a side effect of the meds? If that’s the case then it will not stop until I come off the meds. My doctor is not concerned with my concern of hair loss and says that it will be fine. What do I do. Please help.
Ms. E,
My doctor is suggesting the RAI treatment. How has it worked for you? Do you take Snthroid? Does that cause your hair to fall out. My dr. needs to reg. my thyroid before the RAI treatment. What are your thoughts

I am a 27 year old active female. I do cardio and weight training 3-5 times a week and consider myself in good shape. Around the age of 18 I started losing my hair and became fatigued. My doctor just attributed it to stress so I let it go. Over the years shortness of breath became an additional symptom along with a cold intolerance. Around the age of 23 I became borderline vegan, no meat, chicken, dairy and I eat an occasional fish meal. Recently, my shortness of breath has become extreme and the last two weeks it has become even worse. I am trying to rule out the idea that I may be crazy or a hypocondriac, so please help. I’ve seen a Rheumatologist who discovered that my iron level was an 11. Endrocrinologist saw nothing abnormal. Next is a Gastroentrologist due to my constant bloating and lower stomach pain. So my following symptoms are:

Hair loss – all over head, not in one spot.
Fatigue
Cold intolerance – hands/feet
Shortness of breath
Chest tightness
Bloating – Lower abdomen
Diarrea – mornings.

Rheumotologist put me on FE – Iron over a month ago, still no changes. Also, he said it looked like I had Rayneauds.

Please help. I myself am starting to think I’m crazy!
I had spoken to my Endrocrinologist about my recent blood test and he said that my body was fine with wheat. I’m completely stumped. I don’t know who to turn to next or what to get tested. Help…

I have some acne on my face, not MAJOR. just a minor bit, on my cheeks (3-4) and on my chin sometimes. I’m 18/female.

the dermatologist prescribed, Doryx (Oral: 150 mg), Zianna, Duac, and Pacnex Wash.

I am going to start these meds this week sometimes. Are they safe and are there any major side effects? And it isn’t too much right?

Is it true Doryx causes hair loss?

paramedicgirl asked:


So I’ve been thinking, and can’t get an answer anywhere… I was watching that America’s Top Groomer (or whatever that mini-series was on Animal Planet). On that episode where they went door-to-door grooming dogs, the one team opted to shave one of the dogs. They said it was a good thing they did because they discovered a “skin condition” that would have gone undetected. All you could see were darker spots on the dog, but no hair loss or anything. I have shaved my dogs (2 shih tzus) throughout the summer. I noticed they both have these large dark grey freckle-ish spots all over. It’s not part of their fur coloration (although he’s black & white and she’s white w/grey ears & tail), and they have NO other signs/symptoms with it (no flaking, itching, etc.). Granted, my female has severe separation anxiety to the point of having diahrea when I’m gone (we go to the vet AGAIN on Tuesday), but my male has NO health issues. Diet-wise, they were getting Science Diet, and after I found out that was crap, they’ve been getting mommy’s home-made food (loaded with vitamins, veggies, and lean meat) until I can get to the pet store (I have to drive approx. 100 miles unless I want to feed them Wal-Mart crap). The spots haven’t gone away as far as I know (I have no intentions on shaving them again until next summer, and their coats have grown in quite a bit). Are these just doggie-freckles, or is there something underlying that I should be concerned with? What the heck are they?
First pic shows the spots, second pic shows what she looks like with fur.

MK- No, I did not shave my dogs to see if they had a rash. I shaved them because it was summer, I live in the south, and I would like for them to not die of heatstroke just because I let them outside to pee! The groomer shaved them the first time, then I just did it myself afterwards because it was a ton cheaper! Read the question before answering it please!

lovethesea15 asked:


I’m an eighteen year old female and a student in college. I exercise a lot and burn around 500-1000 calories a day (i usually run outside). i eat between 1200 and 1800 calories a day with an occasional day where i’ll eat 2000 if my friends and i go out. i eat healthy protein and fiber rich foods, and get around 8 hours of sleep. my bmi is 18.5. i used to be bulimic but i haven’t thrown up in around half a year, but i never feel full so eating that amount of calories is hard. i haven’t had my period in a few months so i recently started exercising less (burning around 300-600 calories a day instead of 1000) .Also, for the last few years, i have experienced a lot of hair loss and i continue to experience this (its so much that it clogs the drain when i shower). are my eating/exercising habits really that bad and are they causing my hair loss and lack of period? are these things all interconnected? what can be done?

pootymcpoots asked:


I have PCOS. I was diagnosed 6 years ago. I have conceived 1 child 4 years ago. I have had 2 miscarriages this year one using clomid and glucophage. My testosterone levels are 114 almost twice the norm for a female. I have noticed a small spot of alopecia and diffused thinning of the hair shaft. My doctors are retards and men so they do not understand the affects of hair loss for a woman. I need to know how i can reduce my testosterone on my own and try to salvage my hair and my sanity. Also maybe try to have another baby.
