I am wondering if you can help me.... I am hypothyroid. Was diagnosed this past March and have been taking Armour thyroid meds.

In late June and July I did a 25 day Master Cleanse program. As I have a hard case of candida overgrowth, I replaced the maple syrup with Stevia.

I noticed about 3 weeks after the cleanse that my nails which had finally started growing for the first time in my life when I was on the appropriate level of thryoid meds) began to snap off.

I did another 12 day cleanse in the middle of August. Within 2 weeks of finishing the second cleanse, (Sept 3rd to be precise) I got my normal period, and then continued to bleed for 7 weeks. I also got very ill, hoarse all the time, excessively tired etc. My hair started falling out in handfulls the day my period started and has not stopped falling out.

I went back to the doctor in the start of October and it turns out that my body stopped metabolising the medication I was using and my levels had drastically dropped below even pre-medicine numbers. I was changed to a different medication and we have been doing the increasing of dosages, along with begining Iodine supplementation. The thing is though, my hair is still literally coming out in handfuls. I have lost the majority of the hair on my head in the past 3 months.

Do you have any experience with these kinds of circumstances and what I might be able to do to reverse the loss of hair?

Thank you for your time and response.
