But over the last few months I've been losing a lot more of it. A LOT more. I've been emptying my hairbrush of handfuls of hair when I brush it, and when I washed it this morning there was masses in the bottom of the bath, it was quite shocking. My hair is feeling thinner too, I notice how much easier it is to brush now because there isn't so much of it.

I know it's natural to lose a bit more in the warm weather, but this isn't that, it's quite scary.

Any advice or thoughts? Is this CRPS-related or just a weirdness?

My doc but me on 5000mcg of Biotin its over the counter vitamin for hair skin and nails and it has helped greatly.
Hope this helps
Chris
