I would think the culprit for hair loss can be a combination of the meds, post pregnancy hormones and the thyroid. Make sure you point it out to the doctor to be sure.
I do not know how either med affects thyroid function, but I guess it is possible. Try putting this in a google or dogpile search to see what comes up...
Hope your baby is doing fine now! |
Thanks for the post. I have already done the google search re the meds/hairloss and thyroid function, which yielded nothing. The post-pregnancy hormone issue is possible, it just seems a little late, as Alexander (my little man) is 10 months old actual (a little under 7 adjusted for prematuratity). I am having my thyroid retested, so that should shed some more light on the situation.
The baby, Alex, is doing quite well, considering how complicated his life was at the start. He struggled for survival for weeks in NICU, and fought infections, IVH (brain bleed, grade 3), had 2 seizures, reflux, jaundice...the list goes on... Now, you wouldn't know he was a preemie except that he is smaller than your average 10 month old and he doesn't crawl yet. he gets PT once a week. He has already been weaned off his phenobarbitol too, with no apparent seizures so far. Thanks for asking about him.
