Hi All
So I’m sure alot of you have suffered hair loss through your journey like me. Mine has been on and off for about 20 years now, to differing degrees but has really got me down lately.
It’s been attributed at times to low iron, different medications and I know can be an auto immune disease issue in itself, stress and high levels of inflammation.
Usually when I have a bad phase of loss it does eventually calm down and then I wait for the re growth to start but something odd has now happened, about a year ago I had a huge re growth phase but that hair is coarse, wavy and completely different to my previous hair which was fine and straight, all my previous hair is disappearing now and I just have all this coarse hair left of varying lengths, it’s a complete mess of thinning hair left of different lengths.
I would be really interested to see if this has happened to anyone else and if they have been given an explanation. My ferritin levels are just above what they can be for an iron infusion, when I’ve had iron infusions previously they have really helped. I also have celiac so don’t absorb iron frustratingly.
I know worse things happen but when you’re battling health issues and all the associated problems it’s just something else and it’s really affecting my confidence and getting me down now.
Thanks all x
