Hi there

Maybe you can help me with a definition.

Over the past 4 months I have been losing a lot of hair, I am now at the point where I have small bald patches over my head, and my hair line is VERY thin, and has receeded quite a bit.

I've been to the GP, she put all the hairloss down to stress (my son & husband where both diagnosed with autoimmune disease in the past 6 months, been a real rollercoaster). I am just freaking out here a bit . . . My thyroid & insulin etc where tested about a year ago, and they where fine.

Is this just stress, or an underlying problem :-/ Any thought are appreciated !

Thanks !
