Hypothyroidism and Hair Loss: Seeking Advice

Hi! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about twenty years ago and have always taken Synthroid. I am currently on 88 but have been as high as 125 over these years. My hair has been thinning since I was 35. My underarms and skin does not look healthy. My endocrinologist has ran all the tests and says I’m within normal range. I am wondering if symptoms ever go away or is this normal even with medication? Should I seek a second opinion?

I think if your Endo says you're in a normal range then that might not be the issue here... Maybe see a dermatologist

Have you told your endocrinologist about your hair and other symptoms that you noticed? Maybe also you need to talk to your primary physician to rule out other conditions like iron deficiency etc.

If those symptoms are not new I dont think you should be worried. Saying that, If you have a doubt and you are not quite sure what to do, asking for a second opinion can reassure you.
