I'm in a panic, i have been losing my hair for last couple of months...i'm aware that we lose up to 100 a day but this is more. Even my hairdresser has mentioned how thin my hair is getting.
Ok i should go to doctors but for some reason i'm scared to. I'm 42 and acting like a silly kid, keep crying and getting wound up about it. My mum suffers with an under active thyroid and she's telling me it's probably that but i did google (yes i know a big no no) but found something called "telogen effluvium" which explains quite a bit and says that this can happen up to 3 months after a stressful event like illness or childbirth. Well i haven't had either of those but from June through to about September i did go thru a stressful time at work so i'm wondering if it could possible be related.
Anyone else had thinning of hair...if its the telogen thing they say it can correct itself with 6 months but at the rate its coming out i don't think i'd have any left in 6 months.
Help!
