hypothyroidism is a common cause of hair loss in women, I wonder how many women are not diagnosed and treated for the underlying cause of hair loss

All the women in my family have had female pattern baldness, each generation gets a bit worse.

Pinball, I wish you were right about obtaining an optimal balance, I would have a lush full head of hair!

Over the years I have had every test possible, tried every "cure" in the book, seen many specialists, all to no avail

Very true. Hypothyroidism happens during menopause to many.
