Scarring alopecia DLE
I would like to know if anyone out there with DLE scarring
alopecia
has been prescribed anything other than Dermovate and hydroxychloroquin. I have been on both for over seven months now and hairloss no better, in fact now far worse.

Hair loss with lupus
I know that hair loss is a symptom of lupus. Has anyone here with a lupus diagnosis experienced hair loss on legs only, but still full hair on the head?

Hair loss ? :-(
Hey everyone. I've posted a couple of times this past month about how I've been suffering with mad itching. It's calmed down on my body but is getting worse on my scalp/neck/ears. I can't see any rash. But last night I was waking every half hour or so and staying awake itching my scalp like crazy. I'm

Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Steroid Injections
Hi all. I've just joined this site as yesterday I was diagnosed with FFA. My dermatologist gave me steroid injections and then some cream for my eyebrows. He said it was very rare because I'm a 35 yr old man. Since reading up on it I'm now concerned that the steroid injections may do more harm than good

Update
Hi all I have now lost 90% of my hair with no signs of regrowth. I got my husband to trim the remaining straggly bits off. I saw my dermatologist a month ago, all he could offer was a strong course of steroids which he said may or may not help, and, even if there was some hair growth it could all fall

Thyroid symptoms but perfect results according to GP.
I have many symptoms, weight gain, extreme tiredness, hair loss (I have been diagnosed with
alopecia
) I struggled with fertility in the past, my sister and father both have thyroid issues and I have high cholesterol.

is hair loss due to lack of T3?

Oral steroid side effects
I have fibro plus other autoimmune conditions -
alopecia
, hypothyroidism, lichen sclerosis - and as a last line of treatment I have been put on steroids to a) help alleviate the pain and b) reduce the chances of any other autoimmune conditions occurring.

Hyper to Hypo - 20 years in and I still feel ill
As you have probably all experienced, almost evry illness I have is out down to my thyroid (although

Diagnosing Scleroderma
I have a plethora of chronic conditions - migraine, tinnitus, hypothyroidism,
alopecia
, small fibre neuropathy, lichen sclerosis and Wear and tear arthritis. My gp diagnosed raynaud's with a query regarding scleroderma and referred me back to a rheumatologist that I had seen before re Sojrens.
