ok so i’m really lowkey stressed about my hair lately. it’s not just a little shedding either, like normal bad days. i’ve been noticing small patchy areas on my scalp and it feels like i’m losing clumps when showering.
i finally got the full panel run for Hashimoto and they said things are ‘mostly okay’ but we’re still figuring out if it’s metabolic or just inflammation related stuff. i’m trying to correlate this with my free T3/T4, but idk what makes a pattern. i keep seeing posts saying these dramatic hair issues are super common w/ endocrine swings - perimenopause or t3 fluctuations like that.
but when do you really need to worry about it? is there an actual threshold for how bad the shedding gets before i should be freaking out and seeing some specialist about this specific symptom, even if my routine labs look stable?
