Jaw: You may be clenching your teeth or grinding. Try a soft diet, warm compresses several times a day and ibuprofen but check it out with your dentist. You may need a bite guard.

I am 38 f obese with fatty liver. I have lost 42 lbs since march . My hair is falling out. Could this be a sign of cirrhosis?

Probably not: Cirrhosis is not usually associated with hair loss.Any time there is a rapid reduction in weight or any kind of illness then we can see hair loss increase for several months. This type of hair loss comes back so not to worry. Good luck on your weight loss.
