Hair loss

Posted , 7 users are following.

Here I go again :cry: my hair has started to fall out again. This happened to me about 6 months ago but stopped. I was lucky I did have very thick hair but know it's just about right. It fell out equally and not in patches luckily. :doh:

Has anyone else had or has this problem. Please help :!: Things are harder enough to keep going the way we are all feeling. But I find if we look good on the outside it helps us keep going on the inside.

Just like to say sorry to you all been short and blunt over the past week, but I feel dreadful at the moment.

    Hi Lou Lou, smile

    Sorry to hear about your hair. I haven't experienced that, I have naturally curly hair and it never sees a brush so when i wash it (once a week :yuk: ) it comes out in lumps but it never looks any thinner, thankfully.

    Have you discussed with your G.P or even hairdresser :?:

    Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, don't worry if your posts are short, when i feel rotten i don't tend to post.

    Well I have noticed hair loss, but not from my head :oops: I have lost about 50% of my pubic hair :shock: I wish my underarm hair or leg hair would follow its example, then I wouldn't have to bother with the razor.

    I also have underactive thyroid and I know for a fact that this can cause hair loss if it is not controlled. Have you had a thyroid function test?

    Alicia, Far too much information!! :oops:

    LouLou, Thats what the forum is for, to rant and rave and get things out of your system :evil: You are right about feeling better if you look well. One lady who hires a scooter from us has severe ME and she always looks immaculate even though she can hardly put one foot in front of the other sometimes :shock:

    I dont have this problem. I am lucky enough to have good thick hair :lol: Apart from thyroid there are other medical conditions that cause hair loss so it might be an idea to see your Doc

    Hope things improve for you :hug:

    Hi everyone

    Lou Lou, you don't have to apologise - certainly not to us lot anyway. We all understand only too well. sad

    My head hair is still pretty thick ......... but ......... my loss is in the same place as Alicia's - :shock: Do you think it is an age thing, Alicia?

    Great - talk about downhill all the way! Still, saves on the old Brazilian -

    OUCH :lol:

    Sorry Lou Lou, that's not helping you is it. Hopefully, yours is only temporary as you have been feeling so unwell. sad

    Thats for you kind words. I have had blood tests to check my thyroid which was normal. My hairdresser could not help, I would't care but last month when I went for it cut she said how well it was doing and new hair was starting to come through. :roll:

    As for me I also suffer from hair loss too. My hair is long but I have noticed a large amount of my hair has fallen out but not in clumps.

    As for downstairs all my spiders legs are still intact! :ant:

    No offece taken, it helped me have a laugh and forget myself for a few minutes. Getting worse instead of better but never mind. Will explain more once I get things clear in my own head. :roll:

    Hi LouLou

    I had hair lose last year, i had skin peeling with clumps of hair, so went to the docs and he gave me some special shampo and cream, it soon cleared up and grew back, but he did say it was because i was on a high dose of steriods last year,

    hope this helps
