Hi,

I am treated Hyper/Graves' and I have been a cold person all my life. My sister is Hypo and she's a warm person all her life. Go figure! Sometimes I think they have some of hyper and hypos symptoms turned around, although they do share a lot of the same symptoms, as does a lot of other health conditions. The same with weight. Some hypos will lose weight and some hypos will gain. Likewise for hypers. Some will gain weight and some will lose weight. It just depends on the persons system. We are not all alike and will not experience thyroid issues the same.

If the two medications state that they cause hair loss then it can't be blamed on thyroid. Maybe they have something to do with weight too.;)
