Help set the priorities for Hair Loss Research
Have you ever had a question about the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of hair loss (
) of any cause and not been able to find out the answer? Are there aspects of hair loss which you feel could benefit from research?

News for you
Hi all, I have not been on the site to post (only read all your messages) since I went back to school in September; what a shock to my system it has been after being off so long with all my health problems. I have felt overwhelmed by it all; new schemes of work, new classes, data, targets etc. Sadly

Lupus and Meniere Disease
Been recently diagnosed with
alopecia
secondary Lupus, and have been prescribed Hydroxychloroquine. I am totally oblivious as to what this means. Does anyone knows what this REALLY means? Would you please explain without the medical jargon????

IN CASE THIS IS OF INTEREST TO ANYONE.
The benefits of the nontaxane doublets for platinum-sensitive recurrence (ie, with gemcitabine or liposomal doxorubicin) include the lack of worsening neuropathy and no
alopecia
, making these attractive alternatives in this patient population.

Hair loss after surgery?
Hey ladies. I have been driving myself insane as I have been losing hair a lot over the past few weeks and I've been finding all different reasons it could be. Then I noticed 2 weeks ago when it started was August 20th, which is exactly 3 months after May 20th which was when I had my laproscopic surgery

Prickly Burning Scalp
I seem to be losing a lot of hair (I also have one patch of
alopecia
) but all across my scalp feels almost as though I have sunburn (but I haven't been out in the sun). Is this likely to be a thyroid thing? Donnald x

Complementary therapy funding?
Hello all :) Has anyone here had success securing funding for complementary therapies through their local NHS dept? Eg: shiatsu, acupuncture, homeopathy etc etc. I currently have Shiatsu massage to help relieve my FMS pain and symptoms, but at nearly £50 a go I can only afford one session every 6 weeks

Hair loss, NDT and heavy metals.

O.M.G. So depressed
I made the mistake of looking at some " old " photo's , not too old two and a half years maybe. What a shock , who is that looking at me in the mirror? Sunken eyes , ratty thin hair, wrinkles on my wrinkles. How do I get myself back and is it possible? At least I was approaching ' over the hill ' when
