My hair has been falling out for some time now, iron levels are ok, could this be to do with levo?

Your thyroid results look good - how do you feel?

Thanks.

My last ferritin was 74ug/L (12.0-300)

Vit D - 112 nmol/L (50.0-200.0)

Oct 2017 B12- 704 (190-800)

Just wondered if it could be increase of levo 50-75 mcg.

I've never had hair loss with an increase in Levo nor have I heard of it (but that's not to say it doesn't happen).

Although those vitamin levels look OK, have you read the article I linked to, it lists many others that can cause hair loss.

Low zinc is pretty common after low ferritin

You can get zinc tested via Medichecks

Are the measurements equal to mine on thyroid pharmacy? I.e. Ug/L versus ng/ml? And the ranges? Difficult to interpret.

Thanks 😊
