Re: Hashimoto's TSH levels? Just starting to research my own research

[Guest guest]

Hi,

What exactly are you asking or wanting to know. There is no set TSH

number that makes one lose hair nor is there a set dose of thyroid

hormone that keeps TSH in check. It's individualized. TSH is just one

test that far too many doctors rely on. You need Free T3 and Free T4

to see the true function. What are these labs like?
