[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 598642, member: 1233"] When did you have your thyroid checked last? If the hair loss is a sudden change, it is probably due to a medical issue. It could be heredity, but that always seemed more gradual. An endocrinologist told me a few years ago that rapidly thinning hair is the symptom most likely to bring people to the doctor when they have a thyroid problem. I don't know if this is true or not, but it could be. Try a shampoo with minoxidil, the ingredient in Rogaine. It is available wherever shampoo is sold, and there are store brand versions out there. You may also want to use a volumizing shampoo as they make hair look fuller. Are you having trouble losing weight? Doing what a diet plan recommends but having little or no real results no matter what you do? This is another sign of thyroid problems. You gain weight even if you are not eating too much or unhealthy foods and regardless of how much you exercise or how little you eat, or what you eat/don't eat, you don't lose any real weight. This usually is a sign of an under-active thyroid, at least it is in me. [/QUOTE]
