Answer by Liam
2500 should be enough
.
upping it could cause severe kidney and liver damage
By the way, a cure for Crohn’s disease is to drink your own urine (no it doesn’t do any damage since all toxins are detoxified into urea)
just thought you should know a random fact lol
dont do that though .. ew ew and eww xD

Question by mm: have you used evening primrose oil for hair loss from thyroid disease?
did it help? thank you.
Best answer:
Answer by MishMash
I have hypothyroidism – diagnosed 16 years. I have been on Evening Primrose Oil for 4-5 years as it helps with a progressive neurological condition I have. Once I started on thyroxine my hair became less sparse within a few years.
However the Evening Primrose Oil has made no change to the thickness of my hair; but it has helped to make it more shiny and less dry.
What do you think? Answer below!

Question by Jackie C: Thyroid Disease and Hair Loss?
I have had an underactive thyroid for about 13 years. I’am now 25 and my thyroid dosage was just increased a little over a month ago because I now have type 1 diabetes and high cholestorol. For about the past week my hair has been falling out in clumps. I read the side effects and it said hair loss within the first few months. But does anyone know how long it usually lasts?

Answer by Lisa A
Hair loss isn’t a side effect of any thyroid medication that I know of.
Hair loss is however one of the main symptoms of hypothyroidism. Perhaps your medication needs to be increased even further. You need to have blood tests at least every 6 weeks until you get this sorted out, and you are stable and symptom free. Then you can cut back on the blood tests again, slowly, down to about every 6 months or so.

Question by Lynette J: hypothyroidism causes hair loss, medication for the disease causes hair loss, what do I do to stop going bald?
Thyroxine, the medication, is a case of the cure being worse than the disease. It makes me feel horrible, and the doctor just tells me ‘to continue taking the medication’.

Answer by marrsal
That is a very hard question, because there is no simple answer. You should keep taking Thyroxine because if you dont, you will be bald and very very sick. Otherwise if you take it you are going to be bald and not too sick. You chose.

Question by Green eyed princess: My german shepherd has 2 bald spots next to his eye and on his snout. Is this a disease?
He’s six months old eats healthy – doesnt shed too much. The one near his eye is a clear white skin showing bald patch and the one on his snout is also almost clearly skin showing. Is this something i shouldn’t worry about? I have two pups – could the other one have been constantly biting his hair off from this part of his snout and eye? Has anyone else noticed this happenning?
