Hi there,

Hairloss CAN be a symptom of PCOS and is fairly common. High testosterone is the culprit.

Definitely follow up with the thyroid stuff! It could be causing some of your problems. Also... Sugar and excess carbs can cause this. Have you been tested for insulin resistance? Many women with PCOS are also insulin resistant. If I eat too many carbs it affects my mood (some depression when I normally have NO problems with it at all) and energy level (can you say NO energy??).

Good luck!
