Before I was diagnosed with Addison's I noticed I started to lose a lot of hair from my head. I have lost 60% of what I used to have. I now wear a scarf as I don't like wigs. it's not coming back even though I am on the Hydrocortisone tablets. I was only diagnosed back in September 2016. Has anybody else lost hair from their scalp?

I too lost a lot of my once thick hair. Not entirely sure whether it was caused by my thyroid problems or the adrenal gland insufficiency. It doesn't grow back indeed.

When people generally become ill, the first thing that suffers is usually your hair. Shame yours hasn't grown back. It could be linked to the lack of Cortisol in your body which is produced via the adrenal glands.
