    Chotown26's Story - (Age 21, Hypothyroidism)

    Re: Premature Hair Loss...Hypothyroidism in males Yea, I looked at your pics, and although I've never shaved my head, I can see that your hair is really thin up front. My hair is the same way now. That's why the only hairstyle I can have is any that leaves the bangs down. I don't want to grow...

    Chotown26's Story - (Age 21, Hypothyroidism)

    Re: Premature Hair Loss...Hypothyroidism in males Yes, certainly, diffuse hair loss is a symptom of thyroid disease. Although I think you mean you were taking 25 mcg and 112 mcg. .25 is way too low. I also have other symptoms like slow movements and reactions, mental fog, cold extremities...

    Chotown26's Story - (Age 21, Hypothyroidism)

    Re: Premature Hair Loss...Hypothyroidism in males Well, I'm not entirely sure. I just think it is a little weird to go from a full head of hair to being able to see my scalp under bright lights and especially when my hair is wet in 3 years, especially from the ages of 18 - 21. I'm not sure how...

    Nioxin Shampoo

    Sorry, another question: Even if I can't tell if I have any positive results, is my hair really benefiting within my scalp that I'm not aware of?

    Nioxin Shampoo

    More questions: If I stop using Nioxin, do I really lose all my "work" and my hair goes back to the way it was before I started it? It seems to me that the best 4 thickening shampoos out there from reading this forum are Aveda, Vive Pro, Jason, and Revita. In terms of value, I would guess...

    Nioxin Shampoo

    I have been using Nioxin for about a year, and rarely have I been able to use all 3 steps at once since I bought them in different sizes. Therefore I haven't been able to notice the effects that Nioxin claims to have. I still have questions about it. Does it really reduce DHT from the scalp...

    Chitown26's story

    I'm a 21 year old male, and I suffer from hypopituitarism and hypothyroidism. I have been taking HGH and Synthroid for almost 3 years. I am almost convinced that my hair has been thinning since I started college, just around the time I had began taking those supplementations. My hair for sure...
