I'm only on 100mg a day but I was losing so much hair I thought I would end up bald. I discovered Petrol Head and Maiden Hair shampoos and conditioners from [This content has been moderated by an administrator] my hairs fuller than it was before and its gone from shoulder length to almost waist length.

If you're in a country they don't post to, try to find a shampoo with no sulphates or parabens and add a few drops of rosemary oil, it helps but its not as good as the MCC ones.

I totally relate to the weight gain.

@Courtney_J I mentioned this in another discussion, but for now I'm just taking levothyroxine. It's been going pretty well and I haven't had any side effects. We're still figuring out what dose is the best for me. :)

I have lost a lot of hair, does bother me but I do my best to disguise it. I thought about a wig but try to manage for now.
