Hi all, I’m new to the forum and made this account specifically for this post. Any help would be appreciated!
Starting this year around April/May I started getting chronic insomnia, when before I was sleeping like a baby. I have no idea what caused it and It has persisted until now. I also have diffused thinning all over my scalp. I usually have very thick/dense hair so with all the thinning it still looks like I have a good crop of hair, but it’s done a number on my self-esteem.
I’m on 50mg Seroquel to help me sleep, which seems to do the trick. If I don’t take seroquel I will lie there wide awake until morning.
I got labs done to check if my thyroid etc were okay, and it came back as
Free T4: 12.0 pmol/L (7.0-16.0)
TSH: 1.35 mU/L (0.3-5.0)
Does this indicate subclinical hypothyroidism? And could this be the reason for my thinning/insomnia? Or should I get labs done on cortisol too?
Any help appreciated!
