Great, and please make sure crucially that your vitamin D is checked and also your thyroid looked at be very suspicious of your Thyroid.. have you lost any hair on your eyebrows? The thyroid tests are pretty unreliable but still show up in some people, something which may alert a GP. It it vital that you look at these other things but well done with the iron and b. MaryF

Yes I looked back through threads via yourself to make sure I had mentioned this before. If you are low in vitamin D you will feel awful, and also please see this. dailymail.co.uk/health/arti...

It is one of the first things you should look at with hair loss.

I can't stress highly enough how much you need to check out your Thyroid, is it very common to develop this disease if you have Hughes Syndrome/APS. Also the tests for it are not very good, please also read up on the symptom list, you need to find some ooomph to get your GP to test you and help you. MaryF
