Multinodular goiter and hair loss

[booklover0809]

I was diagnosed with Multinodular goiter in January. TSH came back normal  in December.  In late February I started losing large amounts of hair (has clogged drain twice before I finally bought a filter for the shower) which has continued to the present time.  Should I have my TSH retested?  I also started on Celebrex around that time and have since stopped taking it as I know it can also cause hair loss but I haven't seen any decline in the hair loss.

TSH is a poor indicator of thyroid status; you need to get Free T3 and Free T4 tested, as well.  Those are the actual thyroid hormones and will give a much better picture of what's going on.

Yes, definitely get it rechecked - my TSH went from on the borderline to undetectable within the span of just three months, so you could easily have seen such a change .   I have multinodular goiter also and probable Graves as well.
