View allWhat does thyroid hair loss look like?
Hair loss may develop slowly with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. You won't necessarily notice patches missing or bald spots. Instead, your hair may seem thinner all over. You lose between 50 and 100 hairs from your head each day.

I'm a bit confused about my vitamin D3 situation. My level is 28.06, and I've been taking Lumia 60k every week, but it's giving me some side effects. I spoke with another doctor, and they recommended taking Lumia 60k just once a month instead of weekly. Could you help clarify what's the best approach for me?

I'm really concerned about my wife's health because her vitamin D levels are super low; it's only at 8 when it should be around 40. Our doctor has prescribed her these vitamin D3 sachets, each containing 60,000 units. She's supposed to take one sachet a week for six weeks, and then after that, it's one sachet every two weeks for another six weeks. That seems like a lot to me. I'm curious if 60,000 units is too high of a dosage for her?
The dosage of 60,000 units of vitamin D3 once a week for 6 weeks, followed by once every two weeks for the next 6 weeks, is a common treatment regimen for correcting severe vitamin D deficiency. This high dosage is typically used to rapidly increase vitamin D levels in the body. It is important to follow the prescribed regimen as directed by the doctor to effectively raise the vitamin D levels.
