Hi Christine, I don't Have CRPS but my hair was falling out a lot as well. I have changed my shampoo to Alpacin, with caffeine in it, and it is falling out a lot less. Hope this helps.x

Hi there, in the first few months that I was living with CRPS, my hair was falling out at an alarming rate! It was so worrying to look at the brush or the comb after doing my hair. Fortunately, this stopped after 2 or 3 months and doesn't happen any more now - I've had CRPS since July 2015. Best wishes, Wendy

Have you had your thyroid checked? There is a strong correlation between fibromyalgia and autoimmune thyroiditis (which will make your hair fall out!) xx
