Atypical hashimotos help pllllleeeaasse!!
Hi everyone,
I have all the symptoms of a thyroid condition - 5 years of horrible, soul destroying hair loss, easy weight gain, lump in the throat etc etc. But all thyroid hormone tests TSH, T4 and T3 return well within the normal range.
However, my reverse T3 is showing high (about 450 I think) and I also have some slightly raised Anti TPO markers, although the globulins don't appear. I am desperately trying to manage my hair loss as it is seriously affecting my life. My gut instinct is that the thyroid is under stress but is working harder to produce normal levels, causing the symptoms I have. I am working on the autoimmune part with Vit D, high dose omega 3, supporting the thyroid with selenium and tyrosine and a few other things. I am wondering if anyone has an opinion on a) anything that might help my hair loss in this situation
b) whether small doses of thyroid hormones might help a little to take the stress off the gland.
I have been working on adrenal stress and a homeopath is working to naturally balance the thyroid and pituitary, which had some intial effects which were fantastic however I am travelling and feel I have taken some backwards steps.
ANY suggestions, feedback, experience absolutely welcome. I'm pretty much at the end of my tether. I've been working with many professionals to bring up my nutrients levels (iron, B's, magnesium etc etc).
Thanks!
