Immune Nightmare - Hair falling out ! (SO SCARED)

Hi anyone out there !

I've just walked away from the bathroom mirror and cried (again)
My hair is falling out - it looks so thin (normal long , very think and red)
It is falling out everyday, more and more - I can, for the first time see daylight through it.
People are noticeing and commenting on it!
I'm getting more and more upset and worried about it.

They still havent got to the bottom of all my other problems (Disc damage, painful joints, Ulcerative Colitis etc - see my other posts)

My GP still thinks its an Auto Immune Problem - connecting all my things.

When I asked her about my hair she said not to worry (HUH) that it was just because my body is poorly and that it would grow back when they get me right!

This is little confort for me right now -especially when no Dr will agree with the other one and I feel like a ping-pong ball!

Does anyone else suffer from hair loss - is it really just due to stress ?
I couldn't be under more stress right now!

I cant bear to sit back and watch my "crowning glory" fall out.
Its devastating me.

It now looks so thin and sparce as it is long and stragerly looking.

I feel terrible and I look terrible too.


Anyone know what I mean?
Anyone can suggest anything to help ?

Hi Debbie - Um....see if I can remember them all !
Amitryptaline
Ozalazine
Predsol
Transtec Patch


It started when I was on steriods - but I have been off them quite a long time now - and my hair is getting worse and worse!

Hi there,

Amitryptaline can cause hair loss but it is a very rare side effect so its probably not that. I don't know whether you're still taking Predsol but I think Predsol is a steroid and steroids can cause hair loss. Hope things get better for you. Take care and god bless.

Debbie.
