Hypothyroidism

I have tsh 0.98 after 6 months of levothyroxine(3months of 50mcg followed by 3months of 100mcg).I lost 6kg weight following treatment.I am 47kg now.All symptoms of muscle pain,lethargy and tiredness have improved drastically but there is some facial puffiness.Will my face gain back its original shape?I have lost nearly 75 percent of my hair but I can new see some new hair growing though very little(I am also applying minoxidil).Will my hair grow back to its original state?How much time will it take for the hair to regrow and when will this facial puffiness go?Should I increase my levothyroxine dose?Please help me

The whole purpose of treating hypothyroidism is to relieve hypo symptoms.  So the key question would be whether you still have lingering hypo symptoms or not.

Also, please post your thyroid test results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report so members can assess your status further.

Please post your FT3 and FT4 results along with reference ranges that vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report.  

TSH is a pituitary hormone and not nearly as important as FT3 and FT4 in determining thyroid status.  

How long were you hypo (a good guess is fine)?    Do you know if you have Hashi's?
