[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there is some sort of hair connection to the thyroid. I know this because if you lose the hair on the outside of your eyebrows (toward the end), a doc will want to look at your thyroid levels.

There's also a connection between thyroid and prematurely gray hair (the conditions tend to run together in families; if you have a thyroid condition the doctor may ask you if you have relatives that went gray prematurely)[/quote]

Both Hashimoto's (common cause of hypothyroidism) and alopecia are autoimmune disorders. Once you have one autoimmune disorder you're more likely to have others. I have Hashimoto's and have a small round bald spot at the back of my part. I never made a connection between my autoimmune disorder and the bald spot but now I am. I have lost a lot of my hair too, but luckily I have long curly hair and you can't tell as much. My hairdresser was the one who told me about the bald spot.  I just started taking biotin so hopefully that will help, but what else should I do?[/quote]
