Can you add your blood test results and ranges for TSH, FT3 and FT4 plus thyroid antibodies

Vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 results and ranges too

Are you having any treatment for low iron or B12.

Get doctor to check that you don't have alopecia - another autoimmune condition.

Hair loss is a very common complaint with hypothyroidism and it is distressing as we have enough going on with the disabling symptoms but it should return, slowly, when you have optimum thyroid hormones prescribed.

Thank u all
