A member asked:
I used 2 be anorexic, could that have anything 2 do with my hair loss? in the last 4 yrs my hair has gotten thinner and thinner, soon i'll be bald!

Hair loss: Hair loss or thinning hair can be genetically predisposing, or it can be related to underlying conditions such as thyroid disease. the other major factor can be stress. I am so glad to hear you are no longer anorexic. Get an evaluation and if you have any stress get that evaluated and treated too. best wishes.
