I guess a bit in the middle of this Fall semester, I've been feeling sluggish, tired, and have had several problems with constipation. In the last few months, my hair has been thinning and I'm loosing lots of hair. Before I noticed it, my scalp was itchy at times and now the hair is extremely thin and at times it just breaks off; I can see my scalp from some angles; the thinning is working itself from top of the head to the bottom. Now, my scalp itches or mildly stings at times.
I just started taking vitamins, changed my diet (more tuna, greens, chicken, soy protein), and am about to get an appointment at the doctor. I'm not seeking a diagnosing from you, just your ideas on the possibility of thyroid problems, male hair loss, or malnutrition.
P.S. I started noticing the hair thinning and fall after using a shampoo with gelatin and Vitamin B12 if that means anything.Thyroid problem, malnutrition, or the innevitable hair loss in men?
Thyroid problems are possibly the most overlooked thing in medicine. I had noticed a decrease in my energy level, was having wild mood swings, my fingernails were starting to come loose from the nail beds, my hair was falling out and was dead looking. I kept looking in the mirror thinking I didn't look like myself, but you can talk yourself out of anything if you try hard enough. My hands were starting to tremble all the time and I couldn't walk across the street without feeling like I was going to pass out. It wasn't until I developed a goiter that anyone finally addressed the thyroid issue. Upon intense testing it was determined that I had both diseases of the gland, both the hyperactive and hypoactive disease. I had been tested several times for T levels and everything looked fine, that was because it usually happened during the period of time that my levels had evened out between being too low and too high. About once in a 6 week period, I felt great, then I was either riding the euphoria train or drowning in a pool of despair. Find someone who will check thyroid function and be diligent about ruling out the thyroid as a reason for your problems. I wish you luck, and I hope that you can rule out the glandular problem quickly. If you do find out it is your thyroid, let me assure you there is light at the end of the tunnel and you will feel much better once it is dealt with properly.Thyroid problem, malnutrition, or the innevitable hair loss in men?
