A negative Anti-TPO test is reassuring news, as it suggests your thyroid issue is likely not caused by an autoimmune condition. However, your rising TSH (from 5.54 to 6.68) indicates your thyroid is still struggling a bit, even on a low dose of Thyronorm (levothyroxine). Stopping your medication can cause your TSH to rise further over time, even if you feel well right now. I gently encourage you to discuss these results with your doctor to safely plan the next steps for your health.

For your follow-up thyroid blood test, please delay taking your daily Thyronorm (levothyroxine) until after your blood is drawn. Taking it beforehand can temporarily affect your test results, making them less accurate. As for fasting, a standard thyroid test does not strictly require you to fast, but it is best to check with your doctor or lab in case other blood tests are scheduled for the same visit.

Yes, taking your prescribed Thyronorm (levothyroxine) 125 mcg consistently on an empty stomach is a highly effective step to help normalize your thyroid levels. Your TSH of 11.97 uIU/mL is elevated and your Free T4 of 0.51 ng/dL is low, showing your thyroid is underactive. This medication replaces the hormone your body needs. Taking it on an empty stomach is perfect, as it maximizes absorption. It typically takes about 6 to 8 weeks to see the full benefit, after which your doctor will recheck your blood to ensure the dose is just right.

A TSH level of 8.7 suggests your thyroid is slightly underactive. Your dose of 75 mcg of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) is a very standard dose to help bring this level back to a healthy range. Yes, an underactive thyroid can absolutely cause hair loss, but as your hormone levels stabilize with the medication, this symptom should gradually improve. Since it takes time for the body to adjust, I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor, who will likely recheck your TSH in 6 to 8 weeks to ensure this dose is perfect for you.

But hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) is indeed a lifelong condition. Your body isn't producing enough thyroid hormone, and Thyronorm (levothyroxine) safely replaces what is missing. While homeopathic treatments might offer general comfort, they cannot replace this essential hormone or cure the condition. Stopping your prescribed medication can cause your symptoms to return and affect your health. Please continue taking your Thyronorm as directed by your specialist, as it keeps your body functioning beautifully and safely.

Since you have been taking Thyronorm for your thyroid, the first step is a simple blood test to ensure your thyroid levels are currently stable, as fluctuations can trigger hair shedding. For your oily scalp and winter dandruff, using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione twice a week can help clear the scalp environment. Finally, I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can evaluate the thinning on top and discuss effective options like topical minoxidil or specific vitamin supplements to safely encourage regrowth.
