...Don't worry about your hair.
Mine fell out in Dec 97/Jan 98. I ended up cutting off the few little
wisps that stuck around, just cause I'd rather be totally bald, than have
those silly looking things. Here it is, just over a year later, and I
now have thick, wavy, shoulder length hair. At the time, my doctor had
no idea why my hair fell out, he thought it was stress. Now, of course,
we know it's another of the wonderful symptoms of WTS. Just try not to
stress about it. Buy a bunch of scarves to cover up, if you like, and
wait it out. If you're anything like me, your hair will come back thicker
than ever before. Keep the faith.
... My doc couldn't stress
enough the importance of timing in my meds. He told me that if I was off
by as little as three minutes, I could screw up the whole shebang. What
I did to help me, was actually buy a pill box with a double timer on it.
Every 12 hours the thing would beep and remind me to take a pill. Other
people looked at me strangely, but I was used to that after monitoring
my temp for so long. LOL As of now, my doctor has pronounced me cured.
My temperature has been steady at 98.6 for several weeks. I feel great.
It's amazing that after 15 years of taking Synthroid, the solution could
be so simple.
Stick with it. It's worth it, and you'll be amazed at how good you can
feel.
