Thyroid disease: A "TSH of 4.2" is certainly elevated in most lab determinations. "T3" is the hormone produced in the thyroid gland, and apparently is being produced in adequate amounts. Most hair loss in women is from either genetic causes or from excess male hormone production. Because of the relatively high TSH, you may have hypo-thyroidism, which is treatable.
