Have any of you folks had any trouble with losing large amounts of hair after you had your ileostomies? My hair is falling out by the handfuls. The doc did check my thyroid levels and found my T4 to be 40. She raised up my medication and added a new med for the T3. She thinks it may be a problem with absorbing the drugs. Did any of you have this issue? How did you work with this issue? This is very distressing to me because I have always had very healthy hair and no issues such as this. Any suggestions on how to deal with this would be helpful. Thank you.
