I'd like to hear from anyone who has experienced hair loss. Did you find out what caused it and, if so, how did you treat the problem? Is your hair back to normal now? I've been having some widely fluctuating TSH values. All other thyroid tests have been normal, but I haven't yet been tested for thyroid antibodies. I understand that both hypo- and hyper-thyroidism can cause hair loss. I've read that other causes of hair loss include: stress, fungal infections of the scalp, high testosterone, lowering estrogen, some medications, and various vitamin deficiences. Any other ideas?
