Thyroid . . .
A few weeks ago, I noticed that my hair was falling out, more than normal. Since I have blood work taken regularly for my Crohn's Disease, I asked my GI doctor if there were any other levels he could check to find a cause for the hair loss. Thyroid. Tests taken, levels a little high but not to worry. I started researching symptoms of hyperthyroidism and decided to go to my PCP to follow up. He ran more blood work. Yes, it is my thyroid. Tomorrow I will go for a thyroid scan. It may be my medicines causing the higher levels, so the only way to find out for sure is the scan. Never seen my thyroid before, actually don't even know exactly what it does. But tomorrow I will get the picture, actually three . . . hopefully this will be our answer.
