Thinning Hair
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I read a thread on here about thinning hair,. Is that a fibro symptom? I’m asking because I’ve noticed that about myself recently. I thought about taking biotin, but I know it can interact with other medications, plus it can give you dry mouth and I already have that.

I had problems too. I take vitamin d because I'm deficient (had my dr check) and a multivitamin for women that has tons of biotin in it and my hair thickened back up and my nails grow like crazy (first time in my life I've been able to grow long nails!) Doesn't effect my sojourns any worse than it was

Like you I have dry mouth and thinning hair. I also have no tear production. My actual thyroid labs always come back fairly normal, but my TPO levels, that signal risk of hypothyroidism, are escalating.

You may want to have that tested. UNLESS it’s a Fibro thing. I’m going to see an endocrinologist early next year re my TPO.
