Recently i went to the doctor and took some blood tests. I plan to return to the doctor to get started on medication. I don`t know if this will help end the hair loss. I guess its only a question my doctor will be able to answer for me. Does anyone have this problem and how has it effected you? Does your hairloss eventually improve? I mean does your hair stop falling? Thanks.

What did your T1 & T2 tests show? My sister has hypo-thyroidism (under-production of thyroxin) and was thinning fairly rapidly. They put her on beta-blockers as it was affecting her heart (arythmia) and the thinning got worse. She then stopped all medication and started a homeopathic regime also cutting out all tinned food which she was advised to do by the practitioner. I was quite suspicious of this approach but it worked for her and she is now sporting a full head of hair and is in good health, thank God. Please do not lose heart and hope. Now that you have a clear diagnosis, there are positive measures that can be taken to address the hair loss.
