I got this sign for my wife. Her idea was to put it in the kitchen...I thought we should put it in the guest bathroom... Love it, Jason! I have one in the kitchen that says, "The cook is not responsible for pet hairs in the food." And another one in the living room that reads, "Home - Where the dog hair sticks to everything but the dog." Of course, neither one of them applies currently, since there are no pets, and no dogs. But there once was a time that pet hair ruled the roost!

If you do...don't date it!" LOL I'm not sure who sheds more in our house...our dog...or my wife! I'm always finding my wife's long blonde hair in REALLY weird places! LOL (She'd shoot me if she knew I divulged this! LOL)

I can relate to that, jasoninsd . Both Bob and I are big shedders, now that we are in our dottage. If I keep losing hair at the rate I am, I'll have to start wearing scarves to cover my dome! Not quite there yet, I still have more hair on my head than Bob does, even if you count his beard, lol.

She really does freak out that she's thinning out with regards to her hair. I tell her if she'd quit dying it blonde (she IS blonde...but she dyes it when her roots get "dark"...in her words!) that it wouldn't fall out. They don't call it DYING for nothin'! LOL She told me if I was typing stuff about her she was going to slam my head into the keyboard. I told her ljsfngllirgnsl;gi;9rimrg;glssfdl;oi

Every couple months my wife has her kids over for a family function (usually the functions are out at the in-laws farm). That's when the house gets a make-over. Otherwise...it's my wife, Trigger, and me in the house...and none of the three of us apparently care if there's dust on the China Hutch! LO

My hair is blonde, too, I have never dyed or treated it. (Although my mom used to give us home perms when we were in grade school.) Because I was out in the sun A LOT when I was younger, my hair did get sun bleached. As I became an antique, and no longer had the time to get some rays, my hair darkened. At the end of each winter, I would have dark roots. Get a little sun, they'd get lighter. At this point in time, I'm okay with dark roots, at least I still have hair to worry about - for now! Edit to add - Oh and my point was, I didn't damage it, yet it is still falling out!

Low body temp readings, below 97.6F with basal body temperature readings averaged out for at least a week is much more accurate in detecting cases of hypothyroidism than lab tests. Especially if other symptoms of hypothyroidism exist such as weight gain in some cases, cold intolerance, dry hair and skin, constipation, mental fog, etc.

Edit to add - Oh and my point was, I didn't damage it, yet it is still falling out! I do have to say...pretty much anything "negative" I say about my wife on here is all made up! Not only would she never tell me she'd slam my head against the keyboard...she'd never even THINK of something like that! I tell her I use a lot of "poetic license" when I talk about her on the forum. Thankfully she hasn't picked up on the fact that means "lying"! - There must be something "real" in our relationship...she puts up with me!! She and I too spent the vast majority of our childhoods outside...that was the option. LOL I do have to say...I wasn't lying about all her hair around the house. But...to be fair...we also find my hair around the house. The problem with that...it's my beard hair...which is short, dark, and curly! LOL (I swear it's my BEARD hair!!! LOL)

Which...would make sense since rockpickerforever's been kinda feeling some stress for quite awhile... In my wife's case...the stress is probably from me...just being me! LOL

Which...would make sense since rockpickerforever 's been kinda feeling some stress for quite awhile... In my wife's case...the stress is probably from me...just being me! LOL Yes, stress can lead to hair loss again by suppressing the thyroid as stress weakens the adrenals that have a feedback mechanism with the thyroid.
Actually, there are a number of things can lead to hypothyroidism. Hypothalamic or pituitary dysfunction, adrenal dysfunction, lack of or excess of iodine, poor T4 to T3 conversion, low cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels or over expression of cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase, elevated reverse triiodithyronine (rT3) levels, excess intake or exposure to the halogens chlorine, fluorine or bromine, excess intake of goitrogens, elevated estrogen levels again from the body, medications or environmental exposure, Hashimoto's, etc.
Since women already have higher estrogen levels naturally or from estrogen replacement therapy they are already more prone to hypothyroidism. Add to this dietary estrogens and environmental estrogens such as dioxins, PCBs, phlalates, herbicides, pesticides, BPA from some water bottles and paper receipts, etc. and we have seen a major surge in female cases of hypothyroidism.

Well...sometimes even bald eagles are self conscious about it and drastic measures are taken...

I have supplemented my thyroid for at least 20 years, if it begins to drop I get a quarter sized bald spot top and center. Quitting soy dropped my dosage, along with less coffee and sodas.

I have supplemented my thyroid for at least 20 years, if it begins to drop I get a quarter sized bald spot top and center. Quitting soy dropped my dosage, along with less coffee and sodas. Soy is estrogenic as are all plants we consume. Just varying levels of phyoestrogens. For instance, flax seed is way higher than soy. Iodine will antagonize estrogen, but a person has to be careful with dosing as iodine toxicity starts at 1.3mg daily.
Estrogen levels are also regulated by the liver, which uses methylation to break down excess hormones. Methylation decreases with age though, primarily due to declining stomach acid levels since the nutrients required for the formation of the body's methyl donor SAMe are acid dependent for absorption.
The beneficial acid forming intestinal flora then break down estrogen metabolites preventing their reabsorption, which would otherwise increase the estrogen load.
Caffeine adversely affects the thyroid also through the adrenals as the caffeine causes the adrenals to work overtime leading to adrenal fatigue.
Thyroid medications also lead to thyroid suppression by atrophying the thyroid, which is why dosing has to be increased occasionally to compensate for the lower levels of hormone secreted by the thyroid due to the atrophy.
