: I am 49 years old, female. I suddenly started loosing lots of hair when wet, dry, run fingers through hair and it flys all over. In the front part I had thick bangs , now just thin shreds. I am devestated. I started taking Topral (beta blocker) in August and started noticing in October the hair loss. I since have stopped three weeks ago taking this but am still loosing hari. The pharmacutical company said in rare occurances hair loss can happen. I am also diabetic, non insulin. I take 1 Actos a day and my levels have been in control. If I don't find out the real cause I will soon be bald and it will be too late. I have trouble with joint pain, leg pain and swelling in hands, feet, legs and face. I have been tested for lupus in the past but with inconclusive results. Help, my doctor doesn't seem to be concerned, but this is effecting my self esteem as I have to deal with the public daily on my job.
