I had a lot of hair loss due to a low thyroid and have been taking synthroid for many years. Even on the med I still have occasional fall out, just not as bad. Low thyroid also causes fatigue. I'm so glad you posted and you can vent anytime you like...we are always here for you. I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers. Please keep us posted. Take care.

Hugs,
Pat
Pat,

Thank you so much. I do not have a rash at all. The overwhelming fatigue, hair loss and some unusual pains. Certainly, the low thyroid would be the lesser of the two evils. I hope they figure it out soon. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
