SusieQ Hey everyone-thought I would sign up for this forum to get some info from the "experienced"- i.e.-not just the doctors. My 18 yr old daughter has been diagnosed with Type 1 for 7 yrs, uses a pump and has been taking Symlin for the the last 9 months. She has lost about 10 lbs. but is now beginning to suffer from hair loss. Has anyone else experience hair loss as a side effect? Her doctor claims it isn't a side effect, but has tested her thyroid (since she also takes Synthroid) and the results have come back within range. Any thoughts from those in the "Symlin trenches"? |
