Hi nxtstar1 ,

Hair loss is a common symptom of lupus but can also be linked to other conditions (such as problems with the thyroid) or side effects from some medications. Have you reported this to your doctor?

Yep as others have said query thyroid ... hair missing at the end of my eyebrow is a big sign my thyroid meds need adjusting. Didn't know it could happen with lupus too though so I learnt something today 😊
