I experienced major hair loss during the initial onset of symptoms. Instead of RAI, my thyroid was removed surgically. I especially experienced loss of hair at that time. It took 5-6 months, as well as I remember, before it seemed to stabilize. Last year, I began to notice more loss during showering and shampooing. My lab results indicated a need for increased synthroid dosage. That seemed to alleviate the hair loss. I believe the cycle for hair to shed is actually longer than we realize. I would only be worried if your physician is, or your levels are questionable. If lab results and dosages are OK, it seems your hair loss will probably begin decreasing soon. It took awhile, but my hair seemed to bounce back and my stylist always comments on how thick it is.
There are treatments available to have this ailment manageable. A particular most popular and also successful medicine is Levothyroxine (Synthroid), it maintains your hormone levels stable. But in addition there are circumstances your hormones also go haywire throughout therapy, because of a few other factors, and that may also lead to a further round of hair loss. But hair fall is also a unwanted effect of Synthroid for many people after utilizing it for a long time.
The things they say hair fall continue to carries on even if your thyroid levels seem to be held within normal, then it may be time for you to check out some other reasons of occurence. Your dermatologist or a hair expert will help you out on this by means of comprehensive assessment.
