Hair loss, doctors stumped, daughter has it too!?

I've always had a small amount of hair loss. I've had dozens of tests since I was a child but no definitive answer. I've been diagnosed with a thyroid disease for the last ten years and now my hair loss is worse even with thyroid supplements. Now my daughter, who is almost ten, is also experiencing some hair loss. Her hair is thick and long, though. Mine used to be but has now thinned to where I hate it and no hair cut looks good. Any comments, ideas, similar stories?Hair loss, doctors stumped, daughter has it too!?
Thyroid conditions and thyroid medications can cause hair loss. If your hair is falling fairly evenly from all over your scalp, it is called telogen effluvium. Because there are so many possible causes, other factors may be involved. Possibilities include low ferritin levels or other nutritional imbalance, hormonal changes, vaccination, extreme diet and weight loss, infection, illness, candidiasis albicans, exposure to toxins or allergens, extreme stress or major life change. Because it is happening to both you and your daughter you may want to look into any possible environmental factor that might be affecting both of you. After losing most of my hair at age 32, I used essential oil scalp massage as a successful re-growth remedy. They are very effective for most hair loss conditions.

The most common type of alopecia areata involves hair loss in one or more round spots on the scalp. Hair may also be lost more diffusely over the whole scalp, in which case the condition is called diffuse alopecia areata. Alopecia areata occurs more frequently in people who have affected family members, suggesting that heredity may be a factor. In addition, it is slightly more likely to occur in people who have relatives with autoimmune diseases. Diseases of the thyroid gland are also frequently seen in association with alopecia areata, indicating an association between the two conditions. Eight percent of people with alopecia areata have thyroid disease; this is higher than the incidence of thyroid disease in the general population which is 2%. There is a correlation between alopecia areata and thyroid disease, but treating the thyroid disease does not remedy the alopecia areata.
I alternate using nioxin and phyto systems for my hair and it really completely got rid of my hair loss. but mine was patches of hair that just woldnt grow anymore from my dad pulling it out so much when i was a kid so it may be different for you and your daughter.
In the case of your daughter, it is normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day, so her loss may just be the normal thing. As far as you, have you mentioned it to your doctor and could you have your thyroid medication adjusted? That may help. Taking vitamins, both of you, may also help.

It's normal to lose hundreds of hairs a day.





But hair loss and bald spots are genetics. There's not really anything you can do about it.
Maybe you've got a genetic hormone thing going on.


Is it dietary?


Oh man Im sorry!


Good luck finding out what this is!
