Thyroid Disease and Hair Loss?

I have had an underactive thyroid for about 13 years. I'am now 25 and my thyroid dosage was just increased a little over a month ago because I now have type 1 diabetes and high cholestorol. For about the past week my hair has been falling out in clumps. I read the side effects and it said hair loss within the first few months. But does anyone know how long it usually lasts?Thyroid Disease and Hair Loss?
Hair loss isn't a side effect of any thyroid medication that I know of.





Hair loss is however one of the main symptoms of hypothyroidism. Perhaps your medication needs to be increased even further. You need to have blood tests at least every 6 weeks until you get this sorted out, and you are stable and symptom free. Then you can cut back on the blood tests again, slowly, down to about every 6 months or so.
