Do i have a thyroid problem?
so i get paranoid in a lot of things. so non of my family members (literally) have this condition. i have acne problems so these day i’ve been crying and very sad and scared to go out. but after my acne has improved (thanks god) i became more outgoing and always smiling and just feeling confident. but before since the day i began crying about my face, my hair started to fall but not a lot but my mom says its normal but as i said i get paranoid so i googled the cause of hairless in woman and i thought i might have thyroid problems and im really scared about it.
Have you had your thyroid tested? You need testing for thyroid ANTIBODIES as well as TSH. TSH ‘norm’ should be .3 – 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but would not matter if ANTIBODIES are present. Indicative of Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroiditis (cycles between hyper & hypo at start)…main cause of HypOthyroid & is worse (…OR Graves Disease – HypERthyroid).
WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes.

You’ll have to see your Doctor about this.
