- I'm 48. I was just diagnosed yesterday. Kinda in shock right now. My hair is falling out in quarter size clumps. I feel alone and confused. My partner is great and supportive. I'm realizing I'm not alone. These pages that people have created are helping. I want to say thank you for putting yourself out there! Jillian

Hi there! I don't have thyroid problems now, but I did have a low ferritin level, even though it was in the "normal range". Ferritin is your iron stores, not the total iron that is in your blood. I read a lot about it and came across a few other women that had low ferritin. In some of their stories, they mention that your level should be around 50-70, range in order to grow and maintain your hair. This is disputed though by some doctors. A good website to look that up is www.heralopecia.com. Look there and look up keyword, low ferritin, and you will see others stories of women that are low. I'm currently looking into why my stores are low, food allergies and not being able to absorb my vitimans correctly. Hoping that I will get some answers there. You really have to be aggressive about checking everything. I'll keep you posted on what happens after I test if you like! Take care! Blessings!

Yes you did say wed that's fine I've so many things running through my head these days. What time will work for you? Where do you want to meet there are a lot of places at the mall to eat. Oh I have talk to to another women the other day and she said the same thing her name is Melissa she is one of my friends on her you should email her she knows more about it but now I think I should check mine too you'll have to tell me what the tests are called. I have hypothyroidism from something called hyshiomoto disease ( I know that's spelled wrong but will tell you more about it tomorrow.
