That may be sign of a flare, I lose hair in a similar way when in a flare.

thanks for the thought. its never happened to me before, and it shocked me hugely.

I know, it is shocking. You'll find many posts on here about hair loss, we all try to bear it but there is no doubt that it affects us emotionally.
