Hi Claire91 , I know how you feel.About 2 years ago I had this happen and lost a small (penny size) patch of hair which has now grown back.Turns out I had a bacterial infection for a while and wasn't aware of it.Also I have thyroid trouble.It has since been taken care of but I would see a gp as soon as you can to risk any more loss. Best wishes. Peck.🐤

Hi Claire91 That must have been a bit of a shock for you, how upsetting.

Are you under stress or have hormonal changes?

Hopefully it was just a natural shedding of excess hair, although I suggest you see your GP if it continues.

Hello. Please see your GP even if it's to put your mind at rest. Xx

Hi lovely I hope your ok after your shock !! I know just how you feel so much of my hair has fallen out and I look like I have s reseeding hair line on my forehead. I take gabapentin 900 three times a day so I put it down to that as I had started to gain weight too ( now that made me more upset than the hair). I would go and get it checked out by your gp to be extra sure . Have a restful sleep . My arms are killing me today so I will get little sleep tonight. Take care .

Hiya Claire91 I'm having the same trouble. I'l shampoo my hair then each time I'm finding I will be left with hair on my hands. Then same when conditioning and the same when combing. I've started putting it aside till I'm finished and there is quite a bit. I did mention it to my hairdresser and she said I had no visable patches and not to worry about it but I still do. With everything else we have going on I hope this will never be a symptom. Take care xx
