We feel bad for all of the women who suffer from thinning eyebrows. Here is a tip. As the fashion now includes thicker/fuller eyebrows, while growing them in (if you are able) have your hairdresser color them and the spots that you are trying to grow with a darker hair/eyebrow color. It helps us so much! Good luck with the brows! This is so sad. We feel bad for all of the women who suffer from thinning eyebrows. Here is a tip.

Yeah the correct TSH range is now 0.3 to 3. I'm not sure what the normal FSH range is (I know I just got it tested and mine was normal). And as you said, just because someone has a TSH in the normal range, they could still show signs of hypothyroidism. Robin,

I too was borderline as is my mother, and grandmother. Everyone's body is different so one person could have a TSH level in the low 200's (normal range is 200-400) and feel fantastic, others like myself can feel awful. I'm grateful I gave the meds a shot, it has made a huge difference. One suggestion I would make if you decide to try the meds is to ask your Dr. to start you at the lowest dosage necessary, you can always go up in dosage if needed. I want to apologize for a mistake on my previous comment I accidentally listed the result range for FSH instead of TSH.

Most of us women over the age of 30 need a little thyroid boost. Ask a hormone specialist (who deals with menopausal symptoms) to look over your blood work. Thyroid meds can change your life!!

I don't understand how I can have a full head of hair, and not a full set of eyebrows(?). It's been this way my whole life. Could it be a sign of cancer?

Have you been to a Dermatologist at all? If you are experiencing hair loss, eyebrows could also be effected. I haven't read much about hormones, but I wonder if hormones could cause the eyebrows to thin, while not effecting the hair on the head. Also, are your eyebrows red, or itchy at all? http://www.keratosispilaris.org/ulerythema-ophryogenes/3742-i-have-red-thinning-itchy-eyebrows-keratosis-pilaris-uo.html This page has some different info about different causes of eyebrow hair loss. A Dermatologist may be able to diagnose something. However, it may take several different Dermatologist opinions to figure it out, since they probably aren't all well-versed when it comes to this problem. If you do find out anything, let me know.

But I think the fact that you waxed for 8years could be it. coz I mean, just because wax isnt touching the other hairs doesnt mean the tape or whatever they use to remove it doesnt catch a couple of strand you know?
