Questions Regarding Thyroid Health

Hi guys,

I'm fairly new to the Immortal Hair forums, this summer I noticed my hair was thinner and just not generally as healthy as before. A bald spot also appeared on my left temple and it's getting to where I can see my scalp through my hair (my hair is thin regardless so that's not helping).

Anyway, I've been doing a lot of research and trying to nail down exactly what's going on with me and how I can fix it. I know I had thyroid issues, as I my hands / feet and to a certain extent my entire body was cold a lot of the time. I also had / have really bad digestive issues and I have to be selective with what I eat. I trace almost all of these problems back to when I took antibiotics for 2 years for acne, after I weaned off of them I got sick and my hands got cold, and it's been a problem ever since.

Lately though I've been supplementing with iodine / selenium and have cleaned up my diet considerably. I also began taking 10 mg Celexa (antidepressant) for high blood pressure / anxiety, and it's worked wonders for my mood and blood pressure. So I think I'm starting to get things under control.

My question is regarding some other problems I'm having. I notice the hair on the edges of my eyebrows is pretty thin, so I may still be having thyroid problems or maybe it just takes some time to grow back. Also, I have dry patches on my nose, under my eyes and in between my eyebrows. These have gotten better but they are still there. Does this signify anything? Should I continue to supplement my thyroid or is it something else?

I know I was just kind of rambling in this post, but thanks for any help.

The SSRI will act to suppress the thyroid, would suggest looking into alternatives (see the Robin Williams thread, just posted some of those on there.
