The first time my dose was increased was before my cancer and TT and my hair fell out for 3 months before it quit. Then I had my thyroid removed and 6 weeks off meds and it didn't fall out at all. Then I started back on meds and out it came again. And again, and again! It's still coming out and it's been since January 25th. But my doc did tell me that it takes at least 4-6 months AFTER you get regulated for the hairloss to stop. But it will stop. Or so he says! He assures me that people do not go bald from thyroid issues. We'll just have to see about that! All in all though, I've just stopped worrying about it. Nothing you can do.
