Add new commentthyroidstory.mivox.com was started as a simple blog dealing with my new diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Topics include medical information about hypothyroidism, information about hypothyroid medications like levothyroxine (Synthroid) and Armour Thyroid, as well as natural supplements like Thyromine, vincopectine and various vitamins and minerals. The site has now expanded to include discussion forums where other hypothyroid patients can discuss their experiences with hypothyroidism, and share tips for what medications, supplements and weight loss strategies have worked best for them.
Have you tried OTC treatments? Submitted by mivox on Monday, 16 October, 2006 - 1:17am Have you tried any over-the-counter treatments specifically for hair loss? The two I can think of off hand are Nioxin and Rogaine ... I've never tried them, but I'd love to hear some feedback from someone who has! There's also Propecia (which you're not supposed to use if you're pregnant, or planning to be pregnant, which kind of scares me), but I think that might be prescription only. My doctor also told me it can take up to 6 months for hair loss to stop ... and assuming that's 6 months after you find the right dose of your medication, it could be well over a year before your thyroid medication actually has a noticeable effect on your hair. I doubt anyone else notices it as much as you do though. -------------- Reply |
