chronic hair loss every year. Can anyone tell me why?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I am a 43 year old female and have been plagued by yearly chronic hair loss phases since my 20's which have made my life so unbearable I have contemplated suicide many times.I will have maybe a period of 4 months moderate hair loss (still more than I remember when my hair was "normal") then it just starts falling out heavily more or less overnight.Handfuls of hair particularly on washing.I counted about 800 hairs on just one wash once!!!! I have seen doctors dermatologists tricholigists and had hair mpull tests and I think just about every blood test going and no real explanatio.One specialist actually said to me "Well you haven't gone bald yet so whats your problem"!!!! Tonight it has started again and i just dont think i can through all again.I haven't actually worn my hair down for over 10 years as the embarrassment would be worse. At least in a bun or ponytail you can disguise it a bit. Can anyone please give me some advice on why this might be happening and how I can get through this?

My wife had the same problem recently. I gave her some Zinc supplement from a health shop and her hair has almost stopped falling out.
It has had a great improvemment on her wellbeing as well. If you use them get the ones with copper included.
Good luck.

I have the same problem at the moment my hair is coming out left right and centre. My is alopecia and is probably hormone related as it first occurred when I had stopped breast feeding my son after a year. I was aged 35 years and it goes through cycles of coming out (more so in the summer months) and then growing again probably looking better in the wnter time. I have worn wigs in the past but now feel I don't want to. I am aged 50 years now and have had a health scare so maybe that is why my hair is coming out excessively.
In your case tying up your hair may make it break off more easily as it weakens the hair shaft. Try to relax as much as possible invest in some cool hats which I have done. To be honest as well most people do not look or notice people's hair loss. You could also buy dry shampoo so you are not washing your hair as often and it now comes in different colours so can actually make you look like you have thicker hair and covers bald patches although not good when sweating as the colour can run down as I experienced yesterday myself in the heat.
Anyway good luck hope this has been helpful. Nothing is worth taking your life over there is always a solution.

Ask your chemist.For me i hope for a more expensive drug call a JAK inhibitor that is being researched.

DUE TO MEDICATION I FOUND MY HAIR COMING OUT EACH TIME I BRUSHED OR WORSE SHAMPOO.
MY SON WHO SUFFERED FROM EXZEMA SINCE A CHILD HAD EVERY TREAT GOING.
A FEW YEARS AGO HE TRIED A JASON VALE JUICE BOOK.
AFTER 3 WEEKS HE HAS NEVER SUFFERED FROM THE CONDITION SINCE. IT ONLY COMES BACK IF HE GOES ON HOLIDAY AND DOES NOT JUICE.
WHICH PROVES IT WORKS.
NOW TO YOUR CONDITION-THE JASON VALE BOOK HAS A JUICE FOR HAIR I TOOK THIS FOR 3 WEEKS AND MY HAIR STOPPED FALLING OUT AND HAS GONE THICKER AND GROWING LIKE IT HAS NEVER DONE BEFORE.
THE RECIPE IS AS FOLLOWS .
YOU WILL NEED A JUICER (NOT BLENDER)

I TIMES THE ABOVE BY THREE TO GIVE ME THREE DAYS AND PUT THE EXCESS IN A FLASK IN FRIDGE.
THIS I HAVE BEEN TAKING DAILY AND IT DID WORK .

I always think the glass is half full so suicide never enters my mind.
Alopecia is a crappy thing and i want my hair to grow back and i`ve grown up with comments that are just patronising.People can be and will be cruel but find that little thing that empowers you.
