Default Thanks to all of you...

for relating your experiences.

Carolyn, I was once treated for hypothyroidism but didn't lose hair then. Seems that the thyroid pills I took kick started my thyroid so I didn't need to continue, but I will be sure to have it checked.

Vicky, hope your hair grows back quickly.

Carey and Jaye, I found your info and experience very interesting. Evidently the hair loss is reversible. That's good to hear. I'm not on an agonist now, just sinemet and unfortunately reducing or eliminating it doesn't seem like an option.

Keith, I can appreciate that it would take a long time to figure it out, while you wait to see if hair grows back. Good luck!

Here's something about agonists and hair loss: http://www.neurosy.org/medicine/inte...alopecia.shtml. I can't get the full text of the article without subscribing and I can only find information about this one article. This site mentions an additional report describing hair loss caused by Sinemet. I haven't been able to locate it.
