Hi, anybody else with alopecia and endometriosis/adenomyosis? I wonder if there is a connection since they are all immune responses?

Actually that is the only connection there is, ie auto immune conditions. There are a huge number of them, and having one isn't an automatic for having another.
Never been diagnosed with either of the above but do find my periods are worse when my hair is in a falling out phase which I've always found interesting. Of course this could just be a coinsidence....
I know one person with endometriosis and another who has had problems conceiving apparently because her body attacks the fertilised egg when it tries to attach itself to her womb. Maybe something else to think about for ladies with fertility problems and a link to alopecia.
