Hair loss STILL!
Hi All, I have been treated with plaquenil for 6 months now and been on imuran and 5mg prednislone for just over two months. My hair has been falling out for about 4 months but the last couple of months it has happened very quickly. I have 3 massive bald patches and the rest of my hair is very thin

Hairloss slowing down
Since the ending of 2015 I was experiencing hairloss but did not know what the cause was. In September 2016 I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, I read that hairloss is a symptom of thyroid disease, before I was diagnosed in September my hair came out in handfuls and its thin but mostly at the front

Low Testosterone Treatment
Hi, I am not sure if this community is the right place for this post but here goes: about 8 years ago I was referred to an Endocrinologist who did blood tests for all the usual things and found my T was very low (3). Everything else he felt was normal. He prescribed Testim gel to be applied daily. after

Help for itchy hair?
Hi, I am new here. I am a 39 year old mother from Jamaica. For a number if years I have been experiencing itchy hair scalp, especially in the middle of my hair. This causes hair loss but only the end breaks off. My hair itches terribly when it's breaking and itchy uncontrollable when it's being comb.

What I hate most about Lupus....
Diagnosed in March 2016. There are lots of Lupus things that bother and frustrate me but the one that upsets me is the hair loss. I have spent the last 3 years searching for a hair loss solution....... Thankfully I found one and now that I look like me again, I feel able to tackle anything Lupus can

Little lost soul!!
In regards to low ferritin levels... What can I take instead of Biotin? I do not want to be taking anything that affects my levels but want to take something that is hopefully going to improve my hair loss. I have B12 and Vit D... Is there a ferritin and folate vitamin? xx

In need of other opinions
Endometriosis isn't the only problem I'm having, since during this last year I've been diagnosed with autoimmune Hashimoto thyroiditis,
alopecia
areata and I'm now doing tests as I'm suspected to have Crohn syndrome.

Hypothyrodism
Have hypothyrodism and take 30 mg daily of armour. I am very short winded when I climb steps or pull on water hose. I have had heart checked and lungs, which are fine. My T3 is 79ng/dl. T4 is 1.1ng/dl. Vitamin D,25 is 68 ng/ml. Is this good enough.
