I'm already losing hair as I grow older (am going on 76). Does anyone know of a hypothyroid medication that does NOT cause more hair loss? ## The hair loss can also be related to your levels not being optimal and many people have found it to slow, or stop if they were maintained at the optimum levels. Improvements have also been shown by using T4/T3 drug combinations, rather than just synthetic T4 alone. Has your doctor provided any assistance regarding the issue? Some people have had success using Biotin supplements to improve hair loss, but you should check with your doctor, before adding anything new.

MY HAIR IS BALL AT THE TOP. DO THE SUPER GRO MAKE YOUR HAIR COME BACK IN. IF NOT WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MAKE TO GROW BACK IN. ## There are several different products, made by different companies that are called SuperGro, so I am not sure which one you are asking about. However, all of the ones that I found contain various nutrients, such as Vitamin E and the only way they will really help with hair growth is if the loss of it was due to a deficiency in them. Have you consulted your doctor? They would be able to help you determine the cause and to find out if there are any possible solutions.

About 5 years ago I was supplementing with lecithin at a pretty high dose. 4-6 tablespoons a day. After 2 months of continuing to take this one night I came down with a fever and extreme joint inflammation. It has turned into a autoimmune disease for me "chronic" with joint inflammation throughout my body. Doctors dont know what it is and just prescribe me antiinflaamatorys. Did I take to much lecithin? Lecithin has high omega 6 which can lead to autoimmune? I didnt know this when I was taking it. I have heard of studies using 100 grams perday for months without problems. I was taking in around 45-50 grams I think. My immune system is not right now. It attacks my joint on a regular basis. , and flare ups are hell. ## What does anyone think of this? ## Were you diagnosed with Aut...
