Hello,
recently been worrying about my 'thyroid health' my mum suffered with an underactive thyroid when she was in her late twenties. I'm worried it's going to be passed onto me, i remember horrible stories as a child when my mum was going through the worst part of her thyroid diease and she was have break downs, her hair would fall out and she would say the room was spinning. She gained alot of weight and got very fatigue. Im 17 and im very worried about having an 'underactive thyroid' lately my hair has been falling out, ive been depressed and under alot of stress. Last time i had a blood test my thyroid was at borderline, which means it was Ok but not great. Im scared to go back for another blood test, and having to take these pills to keep myself.. functioning. I dont want to gain loads of weight either. I have an older sister and she doesnt seem to have any thyroid problems.
The main worry is my hair loss, it just comes out.. strand by strand. And this is any strand. It's really dry too. Can anyone help me out on this i need some advice because im very worried right now.
Many thanks. Ruby x
