Hello everyone.. I’m a past hyperthyroid patient who had to have thyroid removed due to cancer so now I’m dealing with more issues as of Hair loss and weight loss/loss of appetite while on levothyroxine do anyone know of anything I can take to gain weight and stop Hair loss ? I know it’s a question that is not asked too often but I really enjoy gaining weight more than losing.. Can anyone give me advice on what to do ?

What were your most recent blood test results and what dose of levothyroxine are you taking? Please include lab ranges with your test results. There are people here who can give good advice but we really need to view your blood test results to help you make sense of what's happening.
