[QUOTE=mrsD;1105829]How is your thyroid doing? Hair loss comes from over active and underactive thyroid.

Many antiseizure drugs affect zinc levels and some doctors suggest zinc for hair loss when using them. OptiZinc is a good choice, easy to tolerate (some supplements of zinc cause nausea), and inexpensive. One a day of this may help.

Hair loss in women is also perhaps hormonal (birth control pills or HRT treatment), or stress related.
Can also come from low protein in the diet, or low sulfur. Are you eating eggs? Some people find, that MSM (a sulfur provider) helps.

Hi,Ty for your response. Yes thyroid levels were checked many times ,always comes back normal. The Dermatologist ruled out anything biological that could be the cause of my hair loss. And didn't suggest any meds or supplements (of course).
I do take an antiseizure drug, Doc didnt mention anything about my Zinc levels. Should I ask her to test my Zinc before I try OptiZinc?

What are your thoughts on my iron being "low". My neurologist is the only Doctor that thought I should take iron pills to get it up to 50.
I do eat eggs couple times a week.
