Hi fiery I really don't know but would difinitely talk to your doc about the hair loss as it could be the medicine but could also be something else. So best to talk to your doc. on this.


take care gentle hugs

I have had serious problems with hair loss off and on over the last 5 yrs. At first I thought it was the meds, then I went off them and I was still having a problem. Then the doc said it must be my thyroid but that came back fine as well.

I'm lucky that I have thick hair and it is not noticeable. But it is very scary to me to wash my hair and then find it plastered all over the shower wall when I get finished. My doc didn't believe how much I was losing so I gathered it all up after 1 shower and put it in a plastic bag and took it with me. But they can't find any reason for it.

I wish I knew the answer.

Please don't get angry with me about my fibro fog, But I am not able to remember what I was told about hair loss by my pain dr when she asked me about this. She mentioned a skin condition to me. She said that I would need to see a Dermatologist about it though - that I remember. So sorry I don't remember the specifics. Will send you a msg so I remember to call and ask her and then get back to you. Take care and gentle hugs, Eva

OMG....LOVE your profile icon! Phoenix is awesome.

As for hair loss...I've experienced some of it too...thinning mostly...but it also runs in my family along with gray hair which I've had since I was little.

What eva is talking about is a known problem with fibro patients. Your scalp builds up oil and clogss your hair follicles. It is recommended that if you have this problem, that you use a shampoo with jojoba oil. It softens your scalp and provides moisture to keep your scalp from building crusty scabs of oil. It was on a fibro page recently given out by another member.
So it could be your meds, or it could be this.

Hair loss like that is very common with autoimmune diseases. May pay to get checked out. hugs Marilyn

Hair loss is common with thyroid conditions too.

Have you been tested for that?

thank you for the replies. I will look into it and I am due for a yearly physical in early July so I will push for a fully thyroid panel at that time - but I suspect that will come back normal,

Like so many Fibro patients, I test perfectly normal for everything, but I am falling apart.
