It is very important that you know what your thyroid level is. The problem is that when doctors do lab work, there is a range that they are looking for. Now you could be on the high end of that range and still be considered normal. This is probably why you are still losing a considerable amount of hair. The goal with therapy, is to not only bring you to a normal level but to bring you to the mid-point of that normal range.
Continue taking your medication as prescribed. On your next appointment, ask your doctor what your exact lab results were.
