Stress can also thin hair out, hormones too. T & B Lymphocytes is how the DX for alopecia is discovered.
I will keep you in my thoughts. It is devastating to lose ones hair, it is an emotional ordeal I wouldn't wish on anyone. All my best wishes to you Bram. ginnie Did you have a recent virus?   |
Thanks Ginnie
Yes, I am a coeliac - another auto-immune merry-go-round
As far as I can tell, it is a general thinning out of the hair all over my head, not in one patch. At the moment I'm very thankful that I started out with thick hair, if it had been thin I would lucky to have a few wisps left... After I've washed my hair I always clean out the drain-sieve thingy, and I just couldn't get my head around how much of it there was today. Add to that everything I cleared from my brush downstairs afterwards. Sobering stuff.
I'm going to overhaul my diet and exercise, and try to do some meditation again. I've got out of the habit lately... Think I'll brush my hair a bit less as well
Bram.
