Has anyone suffered considerable hair loss after starting Thyroid Meds, and did the hair grow back (how long did it take)?

I lost my hair BEFORE starting on med and it slowed down considerably once I got on med and my values started leveling out.  

What med are you on?  Do you have a current lab report?  If so, maybe you could post the results, along with the lab's reference ranges.  That might help members to see better where you are in your treatment.

I never lost a great deal of hair and still havent..being on anti-thyroid meds before RAI and thyroid meds after RAI.
I guess I am one of the lucky ones.
Although after RAI, I had hair like straw for a while.
That came good after the levels stabilised.
