Hair Regrowth Anyone?

Hair Regrowth Anyone?

I was wondering if any of the hashi's people who lost lots of hair have seen regrowth. How long did it take to get your hair back? I hace been on levoxyl for 9 weeks and so far not much regrowth to speak of. I'm hoping someone out there can give me some hope here!!

Although i did not have hashi's- i went hypo after a thyroidectomy- i did have loss of hair and lots of thinning hair. It took 6 mths for my hair to stop shedding and now at just under 8mos post op I have a full head of hair back. 9 wks isn't long enough. Most dr's say 3 months after a normal tsh reading for all symptoms to disappear. Hang in there it will happen.

Thanks for the encouragement! Glad to hear it grew back! What medicine are you on and what dosage?

I am 5 weeks post op for TT and was diagnosed with hashi's.  My hair has been thinning over the last year or so but I found that only here recently have I noticed that the loss is slowing down...less hair in the tub, or in my brush.  
hope this helps

I am currently on levoxyl 175 mcg. and my tsh at last check was .66
  I also wanted to add that i switched to pantene shampoo & conditioner it helped tremendously.
