6. Dry skin, hair, and sensitive nails
People who suffer from this health condition use a lot of moisturizers and deep conditioning in order to cope with the fact that their skin, hair, and nails are constantly dry.
In addition to that, they can experience paleness, coarse, thin, scaly skin, and nails that can break easily. However, all these symptoms can get better once a person begins treatment.
…If you experience any of these annoying and severe symptoms, you should pick up your phone and have an honest conversation with your healthcare provider. Don’t be scared; it doesn’t mean that you’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. There might be something else going on, and a professional will know exactly how to help you.

The article on 12 signs you might have Hypothyroidism is very informative. Thank you.
I would like more articles on Hypothyroidism as I have the disease, and I need to understand the disease better.
My GP had never explained hypothyroid to me. I was losing hair, putting on weight and feeling tired all the time and my GP never suggested it. It was s friend said I might have it so i asked for a test which was positive so I was put on 100g thyroxine . I’m still losing hair and can’t lose weight and am tired all the time. I think I’m tested annually but don’t know why I’m still feeling so awful. Is there any other treatment other than thyroxine,? I’m getting so depressed by this…

I’m going through the same thing, hair loss, weight gain, and complete exhaustion. I too am on 100g thyroxine. I’d love to find out what else I can do besides just taking a pill every morning.
Try the more expensive Synthroid if your insurance can cover some or all of it. Many sufferers say this brand name is distinctly better- I know it is for me after trying both at different times. Good luck with any other adjustments you can ask more about.
I am interested in essential details regarding the ‘life style’ , could you , please point out which are the needed changes in the life style ?
The article is useful as a guide though details are what I need .
Thank you.
Very informative. Thank you for writing this article. I would like to know what they commonly use for medication for this.
