I am so frustrated… SO frustrated. I did the diet HCG a few months ago. One round of 26-days. Right after that, my hair started to fall out like crazy. In chunks… and hasn’t stopped. In fact, my eyelashes are falling out as well and my hair is at least 1/2 as thick as it used to be and i have also been gaining rapid weight. I went to the doc to get my blood and thyroid checked for reasons this is happening. I have been experiencing stress / anxiety lately these past few months, but i have been much more stressed out in my life before now and never lost hair. In my blood results, my TSH level was a bit high, so they decided to put me on Synthroid (1-week ago),,, however now im researching it, and realizing a common side effect of Synthroid is hair loss and anxiety?!!!! I thought that is why i was going on it, was to stop the hair loss due to having hypothyroidism??? I have gone to 3 docs and a dermatologists. They all give me b.s. answers, but i can’t afford to lose anymore of my hair and am considering taking myself off the synthroid… Especially because i don’t want to be on it the rest of my life, and read that once you do go off, you lose even more hair. I am taking every supplement none to man that is supposed to help with hair loss, and nothing is helping. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!! I want to cry every time i shower and see the hair ball in the drain, and when i now have to wrap my hair elastic around my hair 3 times instead of two. Please..im desperate….

I’m sorry this is happening to you.
Don’t ever diet again. Eat healthy foods and drink much water. (I think this is a hard lesson for you to learn to never diet again.) Don’t eat any supplements other than your doctor gives you.
Don’t brush your hair and don’t wash it too much. Don’t us chemical products in your hair. And don’t wear anything in your hair. All those things can increase damaging your hair.
Listen to your doctors. And hang on. Your hair will grow back again eventelly.
WOW, I am sorry to hear that. I am taking levothyroxine which is a substitute for synthroid for over a year now. Before I took PTU, which is the short term for a word I can’t spell, but I took that for several years when my thyroid was on the overactive side (hyper). But never has my hair been coming out, in fact, it has been quite the opposite. But I do have to keep my hair extra moisturized because it get very brittle very quickly.And is growing normally. Now my sister has taken synthroid, and like me started off having hyperthyroidism. They have changed her script several times but is still taken something for her thyroid but her hair is completely gone, with only a few strands trying to return. It is heartbreaking to see. And like you, she has gone to several dermatologists for help.NOTHING! Oh yeah, she lost her eyelashes as well. My thought is that the doctors don’t know what to tell you. Because like me, it is not affecting me the same way. Stay on them for an answer. Do what you can to eat better and do away with stress (if any) for starters, so they won’t be able to use that as the reason why.
I’m also taken synthroid medication (Levothyroxine) for a least 3 years and my hair is breaking off and I wonder before I’m become completely bald, is there a solution to prevent that. I had went to 3 dermatologists, and they are telling me that there is nothing that I can use to prevent my hair fallen. I just don’t want to believe that (Sorr), All these scienceist in the world, you mean that I have to except this . If there is someone out there can send me some information how to resoluted this please help me, Hopless
