At least my hair has finally grown again. But I agree don`t go off thyroid replacement if you need it. If you have been hypothyroid & undiagnosed for a long time you may need to start on a small dose & work up. I gave mine up once but I think problem was that I was started on too high dose. It doesn`t work to go off it coz it controls most metabolic processes. There are a couple of things that can cause anti-body production during thyroid treatment. Make sure they do a proper dx.
Does anyone know why they only replace T4 & T3 when thyroid gland (when working) produces either 12 or 16 enzymes (forgotten which) ? This is one of the reasons we have problems I think.
