I had a load of blood work done at the doctors a couple of weeks ago and apparently my thyroid (and everything else) is fine.
But I've had hair loss which is steadily getting worse, for the past maybe 3/4 months now? It first started not long after I had to take Plan B (emergancy contraceptive), I don't know if it was that or all the worrying I was doing at the time (I had very bad hyperemesis that I sometimes still get nightmares over) so getting pregnant again would have been very bad.
At first it started to get better, so I didn't think any more about it, but it got worse again, with all over thinning that is most noticable at center parting (maybe 1/ or 1/2 cm?) with sporadic hair included?
All the hairs are thinner, but the thinnest are those trying to grow back.
I'm still trying to get hold of a good dermatologist, pretty much all the ones in this area clearly only care about cosmetic surgery (and have pretty bad reviews). My husband's cousin has a contact but I've had trouble getting hold of her, I have a bad feeling time is at the essence! I really, really miss the NHS.
The way it was falling out made me think of TE, but since the hairs are growing back finer isn't miniaturization part of pattern baldness? It is still continuing and naturally, like every person with hair loss it is affecting my already low self esteem/anxiety/wondering if its comming back or when it will even stop.
Oh it is also very itchy, particularly on my neck. Anti dandruff shampoo works for the first night but then it's back, occasionally the hairs hurt or is slightly tingly.
I keep holding my breath without realizing and it's driving me crazy. Breath, Klonoa, breath! >_>
Anyone else have any experience with this? I'm about to go back on birth control for my endometriosis and I've heard prozac (been on it like a week or so) can do bad things to it too. My poor hair
edit: My nails are also very soft and brittle
