Am 31 years old. I am having thyroid problems and on medication from past 1 year .my tsh level was 14 and t3 and t4 were normal. Doctor suggested me to take 75 mcg thyronorm and after few month my tsh drops to .012 and t4 got increased to 22. Doctor still asked me continue same dose but just skip one day in a week. I see my hair is falling like a crazy and that too from all side from head .nowadays I see more hair falling back and side of head and I see those hair are smaller one and very thin as compared to my hair length. Could you please suggest me the what is the reason for same. Do not tell me to take minoxidil or prp that is not going to help that won't work for thyroid hairloss. I don't kno how dermatologist don't know the exact reason and without checking they will ask for prp minoxidil and finasteride .i don't think it is due to nutritional deficiencies also because I am taking proper diet and exercising regularly .also it could not be androgenic alopecia because hair fall is completely different all over the head and mostly from back side. Could you please let me know what could be the reason.

Your doctor advised you thyroid supplement hormone for hypothyroid but 75 mcg is more than required as suggested by latest tsh report. Hence you should reduce thyronorm to 50 mcg daily and repeat tsh after 6 weeks.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given. From the TSH and T4 levels it is clear that there is excess dosing of Levothyroxine. Please clarify, have you tested TSH & T4 again after changing to alternate day dosing? Because it s essential to know current T3, T4 & TSH levels. As I can see it is a case of development of Hyperthyroidism due to excess dosing of T4(Levothyroxine). So first check those levels now. If TSH is still low (<0.5 mU/L) and T4 is still above normal upper limit, then there is a need to stop taking Levothyroxine tablets for at least 4 to 6 weeks, check thyroid levels again then give a relook at the treatment. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
