Weight Gain/Hair Loss

[sunnyinvenice]

I had lost 53 lbs in 5 months with diet and exercise and now have gained 20 pounds in 4 months following the same regime.  I have lost nearly 3/4 of my hair since the end of July.  My first PCP changed my Synthroid from 75 to 1/2 of a 75 mcg tablet which I took for 2 months saying the dosage was most likely too high.  I had been taking 75mcg for over 1-1/2 years.  My new PCP has had me on 88 mcg since 10/7 saying that she had never heard of taking 1/2 a table and that 75mcg was not enough not too high as my first PCP stated.  My current test results show T-4 Free as 1.2 and TSH 3rd Generation as 1.62.  She told me to continue with 88 mcg and will see me in April.  I worked very hard to lose the weight and am very upset with the gain and the hair loss.
