Adding a few more recognizable symptoms of hypothyroidism (for your mom-o-meter, before the doc confirms/denies it by an easy bloodtest):
Gravelly voice, new difficulty controlling one’s handwriting/penmanship (dysgraphia). I bet wikipedia could show you some photos.

I also recall a friend from college who just went into male pattern baldness at age l9. Premature baldness can happen, sad but true. Of course he looked great at job interviews when the rest of us all looked so immature.

If it turns out to be genetic and unavoidable, take him out during Thanksgiving and buy him some excellent wool berets, skicaps, so he can look fashionable while he adjusts to the new situation.

If the bloodtest comes back positive for hypothyroidism, understand that the intial dosing will take months before results register. However, if he’s also very enthusiastic and going to many activities, how tired out could he be? Im suggesting: don’t count on a positive diagnosis of hypothyroidism, but certainly have him tested.

Hey, drs and nurses out there: could it also by hyPERthyroidism, which would make him rather nervous, energetic, lpsing weight, excitable…What I’m asking out is: does hyPERthyroidism also carry a symptom of temporary balding?
