Thyroid Results - Hair Thinning

[Limitless9]

Hi there, I'm an 18 year old guy who in the last 5 months has seen a drastic change, not only in my hair, but also my whole body. 5 months ago my hair was in a very good condition, thick, high density and good volume. Now it is lifeless and very thin and it's destroyed my self-confidence. I find it very difficult to get out of bed every morning, even after a good nights sleep. My parents call me lazy but they don't understand that I have no control over myself and I just don't know what's happening to me. If I compare myself now from 5 months ago, I'm a totally different person, and it hurts, it truly does. I don't want to come on here to vent because you guys have your own problems but I'd really appreciate it if you can just check these blood test results to see if my hair issues may be down other factors rather than male pattern baldness. My doctor ordered another blood test for tomorrow in order to reevaluate the results to see if they're consistent. Here are the results. God Bless.

T3 (Total Triiodothyronone) 1.01
T4 (Total Thyroxine) 10.0
TSH (Thyrotropine) 9.8

Cortisol 163.8
Testosterone 24.5
DHEA-S 6.8

You need to have your thyroid ANTIBODIES tested too. You could have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I have it. My thyroid T3 and T4 and TSH always tested in the normal range for years and finally and an endocrinologist tested my thyroid antibodies and it was high indicating I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. With Hashmoto's you can go from hypo to hyperthyroidism and keep fluctuating back and forth until your body kills your thyroid and then you stay hypo. I actually know when I am hyper and hypo. You could be also suffering from anxiety or depression because you are worried you could go bald. That could make you feel the way you do.
