When does your hair stop falling out?

[Fruitandnutcase]

On 40mcg carbimazole and 75mcg levothyroxine since the end of April.

My last readings taken in March were

TSH. - 2.30. (0.35 - 5.5)

Free T4 - 13.6. (10 - 19.8)

I have just realised that i have no T3 results even though it has always been requested on the blood request form from the hospital - I need to ask why next time I speak to someone.

B12 was 327 (211 - 911) - was told that was 'ok' but seems kind of low to me so have got some B12 patches and have ordered sublingual lozenges.

Somewhere along the line (don't know how ) I have missed my April readings but I was told I was still 'a bit under active' and given an extra 25mcg levo.

So the big question is - when will my hair stop falling out! It is general all over loss - rather than in patches. Have just started on evening primrose oil now to see if that helps.

Hi Wired, did you have problems with your eyelashes and eyebrows too? My pubic hair has all but disappeared too. I'm on a high dose but not getting anywhere, I do have low cortisol too though. What do you take?

Thanks for that Wited - sounds encouraging - I think I am still too low for me- hopefully my dose will be raised next time I go back.
