A member asked:
What's the use of taking thyroid medicines when your hair gonna fall out, way too many side effects, terrible i guess i'll be fat forever, smh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid hormone : If you are overweight, taking thyroid hormone for weight loss is a very wrong approach. If you have hypothyroidism, taking thyroid hormone supplement won't cause hair loss. You should discuss it in details with your local physician to find the best way and safe way to treat your medical needs.
