So I have mentioned it to her before but got the 'shrug' it's probably age type of answer. I just think it's not my age, although I am 49. My late dm and my 3 dsis did/do not have this so it's not in the family. It began 2 years ago at a busy time - when I was moving house and yo yo dieting using Alli. I also had my thyroxeine increased to 75mg at that time, the levels were actually all within acceptable limits but I was still experiencing the symptoms of under activity so she increased it - blood tests since have remained ok. Recently the hair loss has got worse and I just have the feeling there is some underlying cause. I sometimes get, not an out and out itch exactly, but just an underlying creeping/mild itchy feeling in my scalp, I have no dandruff (or nits). What can I say to make my point properly and get some doctorly attention?
