Hi , i have primary sjogrens, i have found that my hair has got thinner on the top , i also have had periods of burning scalp pain. I dont know if it is connected but my hair has also changed from I started rituximab , it has become fluffy and curly on the ends , it drives me mad as i cant style it properly . Sorry i have no advice to help , i will follow to see if anyone else as any suggestions.

Dry eyes,dry skin and hair loss was my path to diagnosis. I was diagnosed Hypothyroid and once I started on the medication I realised the tiredness was also associated. I used to sit in a chair and fall asleep. On some American Facebook sites they talk of treatment of the hair loss but mine recovered after Thyroxine. I am not on the medications that can cause hair loss .

I've lost part of my eyebrow on one side of my face, and my hair is thinner, scalp drier. I haven't equated it to sjorgens, thinking it was more my age, and the facial palsy I have on one side of my face.

When my body was in total meltdown a couple of years back, the hair in my armpits stopped growing altogether for 7 months. It was as if I'd had laser hair removal ( the only benefit of being in a physical mess). I take a variety of vitamins and black seed oil , which definitely helps my nails and the condition of my hair. There are some good products on the market for dry scalp and thinning hair now, if they may help? Have you been to a GP about it? It's very distressing for you I am sure.
