Yes, it all started when I went on synthroid but I never had abnormal TSH or T4/T3 only high antibodies. I probably could have waited but I read its best to go on synthroid to prevent goiters. My endo claims if your levels are always normal you won't get hair loss related issues from thyroid. Don't know how true this really is.I’m reaching out to a friend that is an endocrinologist. It seems like a bizarre catch-22. If your TSH is high (hypo) and you address with Synthroid (first side effect listed as causes Hairloss) you are in a horrible place.
I wonder if there are alternatives to levothyroxine that can address the hypo without causing more loss. @DoctorHouse did the start of you Hairloss have any correlation timing wise with your Thyroid treatment?
