Yeah I have had my thyroid checked and it always came back great. My T4 and T3 levels were actually good. This was according to a naturopath, so I trust him a bit more when reading lab results.
The type of hair loss I have is an autoimmune disorder. It is called Alopecia Areata. This is when you lose large patches of hair all at once. Then the spot begins to grow over time (usually). Some women lose all of their hair. I don't want to be one of those women if you know what I mean. I want to get better, rather than just live with bald spots. This hair loss forum I post at is a joke. It's all about (((HUGS))) and offers no real solutions. They think taking prozac and paxil is the way to go... Remind me why I even waste my time on there again? LOL I'm probably going to get banned soon because of my views on vaccines and amalgam fillings. Oh well!
Here is a link to one of my blog posts which shows pictures of what I have going on.

My dermatologist says that mercury and heavy metals would never cause this. She completely threw out the idea of mercury poisoning. I think she is full of ....garbage. My hair started to fall out right around when I just couldn't handle myself anymore. This is no coincidence in my opinion.
Sorry to derail the thread...
