Thyroid disorders and hair loss. What is common and does anything help?

I was diagnosed with Graves disease early this year and underwent the radiation treatment for the disease. Now that they are adjusting my medicine I am finding that my hair is falling out a lot. They say that there are certain shampoos out there that help. Does anyone have any advice to prevent the hairloss?

i have that problem. i was tested for Lupas and Thyroid Disease. and i was fine. but then checked for low Iron and found out i have Anemia and that was the problem. i take Iron pills and a Multi-vitamin pill everyday.

eat healthy and take a multi-vitamin.
get good sleep also.

Monitor your iron levels. Thyroid can cause anemia or iron deficiency, which also results in hair loss. Eat plenty of protein, enough for your current body weight since hair and skin is made of protein. A good hair salon or beauty supply can suggest a shampoo-- there are "anti-aging" shampoos that protect and strengthen the follicle.

Having your hair fall out is a symptom of hypothyroidism. Now that your doctors have given you hypothyroidism, you need to get treatment for it.
