i can pull out hairs from the back....most of them are thick terminal black but i do get sum that are very fine thin hairs wtf is up with this!???? and most of them dont have bulbes at the end of em. doubt it is a thyroid issue but i did lose ALOT of weiight over the summer. became like anorexic. went from 175 to like 135 but i eat a pretty normal diet now and havent noticed any rapid weight gains associated with underactive thyroid. i have also elimnated almost all fats from my diet and cut down on the simple carbs....any way i can check for hypthyroidism without getting bloodwork done? i brought this up with my mom she said im healthy and i should stop worrying......if it was hypo thyroid why are sum of the hairs that are are shedding from the back thin vellus like?

Get blood work regardless and make sure to have not only your TSH tested but T3 and T4 levels.

You can research Wilsons Syndrome also which may apply (relative to Adrenal Fatigue) which you may have.

I initially thought this was my problem and whilst still uncertain exactly, it is potentially NOT the case, even though I lose hair in a similar fashion to you.
