Quick background...partial then completion thyroidectomy August 2016, thyroid cancer diagnosis, taking 175mcg levothyroxine as well as calcium, vit d and b12/b complex supplements.
TSH was last tested at 0.07 and is being kept low, specialist says I can go lower so long as I'm not getting heart palpitations.
I'm feeling generally pretty good but I'm losing my hair - this is possibly the most disturbing side effect/symptom of my past year.
I've ordered blood test to check where I am against my last one but can anyone think what may be causing this?
