No you are not hyper. You cannot be hyperthyroid when you have hypothyroidism. Most people feel best when their TSH level is 1.0 or a little lower. Your FT4 is in range so you are not overmedicated. In fact you could have a slight increase so long as your FT4 did not go over range. You really need an FT3 test result too to find out what is really going on with your thyroid.

Your symptoms could be a result of vitamin deficiencies. Many of us are lacking as a result of hypothyroidism. Hair loss can also be a result of mineral deficiencies too.

Have you had vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 blood tests? If so post the results on this forum for good advice. If not, then ask GP to test them along with FT3, TSH and FT4 to get a full picture.

May I ask why you had your thyroid removed?

Not hyper, but you need your T3 results too. Those don't look bad but if your still ill there's a reason
