Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Fall And Fluctuations In TSH Levels
Hi I am thyroid patient and taking eltroxin 50 mgm. Right now for some reason my TSH has shot up to 14 from 0.132 in just 3 months, to which my doc is also surprised and has recommended retest. But the fact remains that I am facing massive hair fall since last month, so can I use folica hair tincture without my doctor s recommendation?????

Hi,
It won't help in thyroid disease. There is also the reason WHY the thyroid is abnormal. This can be from autoimmune disease either just attacking the thyroid or a more generalized one. Autoimmune disease can have direct and indirect (thru the thyroid) effects that affect hair.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
