Sorry not familiar with those ranges - where did you have the tests done ? Think it could be Total T4 and not the Free. Did you have them done in the US ? Negative for Hashimotos.

How are your levels of B12 - folate - Ferritin - VitD ? If low then it could be the cause of hair loss. Am not familiar with Thyroid S - so others will be along soon and comment :-)

ZRT lab and yes it is American. Take Iron, B12 and Vit D daily, need to get them tested too. Thanks for your help. I self import the Thiroyd S, suits me better than the other NDTs I have tried.

No point testing B12 once supplementing as results will be skewed. Did you test before supplementing ?

Free T4. 1.2 (0.7-2.5)

Free T3 2.3 (2.4-4.2)

So, your FT3 is under-range! And your FT4 is below mid-range. How much Thyroid S are you taking? You obviously need an increase in dose. But, to have an FT3 that low when taking NDT, speaks of very, very poor conversion.

Not what you're looking for?
