Symptoms for 7 months, no diagnosis. Excessive hair loss, muscle pain, swollen nodes.?

Hello!





I`m a 19 year old female who`s been experiencing a series of symptoms for the past 7 months that doctors have been unable to diagnose.





Firstly, my hair has been falling out and as you can imagine, this has been very emotionally stressful. Since about 7 months ago, I`ve lost more then 75% of hair from all over my head. The hair loss is not patchy, but has been thinning all over. I used to have long, extremely thick and beautiful hair, and now its almost gone. The hair loss is not localized to my head as I've even noticed that the hair on my legs and in my pubic area have barely been growing back after shaving. I did see a dermatologist and he said that I must have an underlying autoiumme disease that's causing the hair loss. He suspects lupus or a related disease, but as of yet, blood tests have shown no irregularities.





Since around the same time my hair has been falling out, Ive noticed that the lymph nodes in my neck have been swollen. Sometimes they are red and sensitive (especially after drinking alcohol or smoking) but usually they're painless. I've also been experiencing a lot of joint/muscle pain and stiffness. Some days it gets really bad and I can barely move, even typing/writing is difficult because the muscles in my hands are so stiff. I feel like every muscle and joint in my body is inflamed. I'm only 19 and I'm having as hard of a time moving around as my 55 year old mother with MS.





Lastly, (and I'm not sure if this is related at all) my skin has been really dry and especially itchy. I'm not sure if I've noticed any rashes, but I have noticed some redness (light red spots) randomly on my skin.





My family doctor did a thorough blood analysis and everything came back normal. There is no sign of vitamin deficiency, my thyriod was normal, no diabetes, my blood cell count was normal, kidney/liver function was normal, and I'm clean for STD's/STI's. I really don't know where to go from here and im terrified that if I don't find out whats wrong, I'm going to go bald.





Does anyone know what these symptoms indicate? Any advice as to what I should get tested for/where I should go from here would be great.





Thank you in advance for the help!Symptoms for 7 months, no diagnosis. Excessive hair loss, muscle pain, swollen nodes.?

I've had some weird symptoms for some time: pubic hair loss, vaginal wall swelling, clitoral leak. What is it?

In addition, my labia (vaginal lips) are always sore. It's painful to use tampons. I have been to a doctor and it seems like they ignore me whenever I tell them that my vagina is swelling, or that I have extreme hair loss. I don't use chemicals nor do I wax. Until a year ago, I always had a considerable amount of public hair. Now, I will wipe after using the restroom and there are strands left on the tissue. I don't want to even think about being intimate with my fiance because it's soooo painful. Any sound advice you can offer would be helpful, as this is so embarassing to talk about to anyone.I've had some weird symptoms for some time: pubic hair loss, vaginal wall swelling, clitoral leak. What is it?
this sounds like it could be something serious. you need to find a different doctor right away! these symptoms are not normal! good luck!I've had some weird symptoms for some time: pubic hair loss, vaginal wall swelling, clitoral leak. What is it?
Find a different doctor, one who will listen to your concerns. I have been in the medical field 20 years, I have never heard of this.

Joints clicking (all over) - Hair Loss (all over) & lots of Acid Reflux. What could cause these symptoms?

lyme disease? lupus?Joints clicking (all over) - Hair Loss (all over) %26amp; lots of Acid Reflux. What could cause these symptoms?
Off to the doctor with you. No one on here can diagnose anyway, but theres not nearly enough info to even make any sort of guess. Chances are, the symptoms aren't even related but go ick up the phone and make the call!Joints clicking (all over) - Hair Loss (all over) %26amp; lots of Acid Reflux. What could cause these symptoms?
I feel sure your G.P. would be able to answer this question better than I would. It doesn't sound very pleasant and I would guess that it could be something quite serious, so I wouldn't delay in getting it checked out.
1) Joints clicking - old age. 2) Hair loss - lack of sex. 3) Acid reflux - refer to answers 1%26amp;2 lol! Best bet? See your Dr.
Get to the doctor for a full blood work up pronto!

What do these symptoms mean? The hair loss?

Over the past, I don't know, 3 months, I have noticed that I lose a lot of hair in the shower. All I do is run a hand through my wet hair and out comes a handful of hair. I probably lose about 30 or so hair strands in the shower alone. Lately, my hair comes out even if it is dry. Just today, I ran my hand through my dry hair and out came 20 or so strands. Lots more come out when I even try to brush my hair. It is really starting to scare me. The most frightening part is that I even lose hair in my sleep. I wake up and look and my pillow and there are 20 or so pieces of hair. Like I said, this had never happened before prior to the last 3 or so months. I also have other symptoms that I will list below to see if any of yall can connect these symptoms together.





- Tiredness (I sleep for a good 13 or so hours now where as before, I only slept maybe 7 or 8 hours)


- Headaches


- Dizziness


- Blurry Vision


- Teeth Ache


- Moodiness (Yes I'm a girl, but I have never lashed out at my family like I am now)


- Cramps (Before, I rarely experienced cramps and now I have them all the time)


- Feeling of Weakness (All the time)


- Stomach Aches


- Mouth always seems to seem dry


- Excessive Sweating





Thank You so much to anyone who answers.





Ps. I am only 14 years old so this seems very odd to me.What do these symptoms mean? The hair loss?
You need to get yourself to the doctor and let them know what you are experiencing. I immediately thought ';thyroid'; but there need to be tests done to see if that is the case.


I had some of your symptoms and ended up having celiac disease (unexplained hair loss, moodiness, cramping, migraines, tiredness, brainfog, restless leg). Hope this helps, get yourself to the doctor, they need to run a few tests!What do these symptoms mean? The hair loss?
better go to doctor as soon as it is possible!

Hair Loss and Other Symptoms Help?

I'm 17 years old and have had hair loss for over 2 years now. I first noticed it on my scalp but it seems to have spread to my eyelashes, pubic hair, and eyebrows. The hairs from my scalp have little white bulbs at the ends when they fall out and my scalp has an odd smell even after washing. Irregular periods(since they started), lightheaded often, tired a lot, and being dizzy at times are my other symptoms. I've been to my general doctor, a dermatologist, endocrinologist, and a gynecologist and none of them have been able to help me. I've had normal results on blood tests for hormone levels, thyroid, and others I don't remember. I've also tried to take metformin pills and birth control pills that didn't help all my symptoms. I don't really know what to do next and my hair loss is getting worse. Any suggestions or advice would be great. ThanksHair Loss and Other Symptoms Help?

Recovering anorexic: how long until the symptoms stop? (ie: hair loss, lanugo)?

I'm trying to get better (and I definitely am well on my way), but I am sick of not being able to come my hair for fear it will all come out at once.


As for the lanugo (light, extra hair), will it eventually fall off?


Please, if you're going to make snide remarks don't bother posting.


Thanks!Recovering anorexic: how long until the symptoms stop? (ie: hair loss, lanugo)?
Good for you! The lanugo will come off gradually as you gain weight and stabilize, and the hair loss will become minimal over time as well. There is no way to tell how long it will take, but keep in mind that your body responds fairly quickly to even small improvements in diet (in your case, taking in more calories), and will become healthier in pace with the improvements. Expect changes to come weekly. You're well on your way to a healthier body and a happier state of mind!Recovering anorexic: how long until the symptoms stop? (ie: hair loss, lanugo)?
I don't know the answer to your question, but I have to praise you for taking steps to recover. It is a huge deal and very very difficult. So I must give you much praise for taking care of this problem and yourself. Keep going with it. I wish you the best of luck!

What could these symptoms mean? Hair loss, Exhaustion?

22 years old female. 3 children last child delivered on 3/13/2009. Had Mirena put in on 6/30/09. Overall healthy.





Complaints: After having my daughter I started feeling very tired and associated that with just motherly fatigue. But now, nearly 5 months later, I feel exhausted at all times. I could sleep for 10 hours and still have trouble waking up and I'll fall asleep sometime later or have difficulty staying awake. I also have significant hair loss starting 3-4 weeks ago. It has been so significant that now my hair is visibly thinner and keeps thinning-I find hairs all over and in the shower it just falls out in chunks. I also have some general malaise and it seems that my bones hurt (strange I know). I'm freaking out. I don't have any other problems that I've noticed.





Please if you have any suggestions let me know.What could these symptoms mean? Hair loss, Exhaustion?
anyway as we know hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! Find out the actual cause of hair loss! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections ,hormonal problems, to mention a few.





year ago ( after my second child ) I suffered very much from dandruff and hair loss too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss.


the things that really worked for me was:





1) Vitamin A - an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;





2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The 'B' vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;





3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;





4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);





5) also he used herbal treatment - TrichoZed and Provilluss!


Those are a good products that helps prevent hair loss and contains Biotin and the clinically tested ingredients approved by the FDA to help re-grow your hair.! I think it is very important!





It worked and still works for me!





I do not know if any pharmacies carry TrichoZed but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here





http://www.trichozed.info/ingredients.ph…





and here

It enhances hair growth by blocking DHT (Dihydrotestostrone) - a major cause of hair loss!





good luck!





not only my own personal experience + working as a family physician





http://www.trichozed.infoWhat could these symptoms mean? Hair loss, Exhaustion?
I would go to your doctor and have your thyroid checked out--sometimes hair loss is a sign of thyroid disfunction. It could also be some other type of hormone imbalance so definitely get it checked out. Hope you start feeling better!
Well I had the same thing, except I'm a little younger than you are, without children.





I would come home from school and just go right to sleep. I fell asleep in classes, on the bus, everywhere possible.


I was also loosing tons of hair in the shower, and it was getting thinner by the day.


I went to the doctor, and I described everything to her, and she told me I wasn't getting enough vitamins, and it was causing my body to want to just rest.





My guess is it would be something relating to this, but your best bet is to visit your doctor. The people on Yahoo Answers can't diagnose you correctly, so I'd really suggest going in.





But I really hope you get better!





and I hope I helped!





good luck!
it's possible it could be malnutrition. not that you're not eating right, but maybe your body isn't absorbing certain vitamins. try taking a daily multi-vitamin. if nothing gets better, see a doctor.


good luck!





EDIT:


it ALSO could be that your bones arent absorbing Calcium! on second thought, i STRONGLY suggest you go see your doctor. a woman i know lost her entire mouth of teeth because during her pregnancy her body stopped absorbing calcium %26amp; now she has dentures! at age 22! (i'm not trying to scare you, i'm sorry, it's just possible that this COULD be very serious!)
Hereditary hair loss or Androgenetic Alopecia





Hair loss (androgenetic alopecia or hereditary hair loss) is caused primarily due to the impact that androgens have on the hair follicles. There is a genetic predisposition for this particular category of hair loss to take place which could also be expressed at a very young age. Not only it is the main cause of androgenetic alopecia as it accounts 50-70% of all cases, but it also responsible for 40-50% of all female hair loss. The main factor that affects hair loss is the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The hair follicles at the top of the head are particularly sensitive to the effect of this hormone. DHT shortens the hair growth cycle reducing the follicle size thus leading to shedding of hair.





In males, hair loss happens in following time frames that are interrupted by remission phases. The hair becomes more and more thin and short and is finally changed into indiscernible fuzz with distinct signs of balding especially at the top of the head. The sooner the hair loss begins, the faster the process becomes. In females, hair loss occurs in seasonal spurts and follows a slow process. The hair becomes thin and dull and fall out in a diffuse manner all over the top of the head at first broadening the parting. In succession a true alopecia is observed and it ceases just about 1 cm away from the hairline.





Other types of Hair loss





Non-hereditary hair loss occurs mostly in women and is predominately caused by hormonal disorders (pregnancy, menopause) by uncommonly stressful situations and overtiredness by “crazy” unhealthy diet or malnutrition (low vitamin, protein and trace mineral intake) by mechanical damage (repeated shampooing with “tough” shampoos, blow drying, excessive combing, hair bands) or chemical damage (hair coloring hair perms). Other factors that intensify the condition are the excessive sebum secretion, the intense dehydration of the scalp, UV radiation, pollution and environmental conditions (drought, wind). Finally there are cases of hair loss that are directly related to numerous conditions and the use of specific drugs. These cases are referred to as pathogenic hair loss and need the medical assist of a dermatologist.





Nutrition: Proper hair nourishment and invigoration





Your daily diet affects the healthy form and the quality of your hair. The every day intake of nutrients that are implicated in the appropriate growth of the hair is requirement that must be met through our regular diet.





One of the key factors of hair loss is a diet rich in fat. The combination of a diet low in fat and the intake of food rich in protein (lecithin, wheat germ oil, brewer’s yeast), amino acids that are involved in the formation of hair’s keratin, minerals and trace elements that are involved in the development of hair (silica, zinc).





Hair loss natural treatment.





Generally, anxiety, stress and extreme exhaustion are all factors that affect good health of the hair and their growth. Keep in mind that a healthy life style, resting, a good night’s sleep, stress management and regular eating habits can indisputably contribute to healthy hair growth.





Aromatherapy is one of the natural therapies that can also be beneficial to hair wellness. Shampoos and solution with the appropriate essential oils are used to combat safely baldness and promote hair regrowing. They have antibacterial, tonic and antiseptic attributes and aid good condition of scalp. Thyme, Rosemary, Lavender, Jojoba and Cedarwood oil are considered by dermatologists as the most effective essential oils that can naturally treat hair loss and improve hair health.
number of things can cause excessive hair loss. For example, about 3 or 4 months after an illness or a major surgery, you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair. This hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and is temporary.





Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.





Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones. During pregnancy, high levels of certain hormones cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall out. When the hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, that hair falls out and the normal cycle of growth and loss starts again.





Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birth control pills and antidepressants.








Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so that it can be treated.





I would visit the doctor. He will be able to help you with what is going on and how to fix it. I would try taking a multi vitamin. That can help with the exhaustion.





Hope this helps :)

What kind of hair loss is associated with a thyroid problem? Are there other symptoms?

Hair loss associated with thyroid problems most commonly are:


eyebrows - the outer corner of eyebrows tends to fall away leaving appearance of half an eye brow.


Hair breakage - hair falling out in clumps or breaking easily when brushed.





Taking good supplements as well as the thyroid meds can get your hair back strong again though.

What are the symptoms of a thyroid problem. Is it just hair loss only or other signs?

I am one of these sufferers of a thyroid disorder, called; Hypothyroidism. The doctor took four years to correctly diagnose me!



Here are the symptoms for an over-active thyroid;



1: Putting on weight without eating any more, whilst having a healthy diet.



2: Feeling lethargic, no matter how much sleep you have had.



3: Mood swings.



4: Feeling cold.



5: Hair loss!



Untreated, a multi-nodular goitre can form in the thyroid, but the eyes do not become prominent as with the over-active thyroid condition.



The patient will feel more lethargic as the time goes by, and might be unable to have the strength to get out of bed.



--------------------------------------br>


If it is Hyperthyroidism, over-active thyroid;



1: Feeling hot even when the weather is cold.



2; Rushing about, not able to relax, tense.



3: Palpitations.



4: Feeling irritable all the time.



5: Unable to sleep.



If this condition is left untreated, the thyroid could swell, and so can the eyeballs, which is called; Goitre





A blood test can easily ascertain, which thyroid condition the patient has. Treatment is difficult to get the correct level of thyroid hormone needed in to regulate the body, but if you have a good specialist, called an; Endocrinologist it may take only 6 months to a year, depending on the severity of the case.



But, you will have to go back for regular three monthly blood tests to keep an eye on it. I found that if I had a weight gain, or managed to lose some weight, it affected the dosage I was on. So keep an eye on that too.

*** The Best Hair Loss Solution ( Personal Review )



Been on minoxidil ( R0gaine庐 ) for about a year and a half and have not seen even the smallest amount of regrowth that i almost fell into depression.



My hair only started visibly growing on the bald spot after skeptically trying out the various natural techniques to re-grow lost hair @ http://www.regrowmyhair.info



I would highly recommend this easy to follow step-by-step guide with pictures to anyone who is suffering from hair loss right now. But remember this isn't a miracle cure for baldness as you will also need to put in some effort in order to see results. And its only a minimum commitment of 15 minutes a day to help re-grow your lost hair.



Anyway, its also a cheaper and effective way of re-growing lost hair compared to those unnatural ways which may involve harsh chemicals that may have side effects.What are the symptoms of a thyroid problem. Is it just hair loss only or other signs?
There many many symptoms of a thyroid problem - it depends on the problem. Doctors divide thyroid disease into hyperthyroidism (meaning hyper active) and hypothyroidism (meaning low activity) and each category has many many signs and symptoms.

Ok so im turning 20 this year. Nov. 09 i started having these horrible head aches. Sharp pin type of head aches. My whole head went numb sometimes. Other times only half of my head would hurt and then the next day it would shift to the other side. I would get hot fast and i would go back to normal. later on in the day i would be freezing. This lasted for 2 1/2 weeks straight. after that the head aches would show up once in a while.





Im always having body temperature changes. Hot, cold and so forth. My mood does change but its usually happy or very like aggravated. To the point i dont want to talk to anyone and just relax and be alone.





For the past like 4 months my hair has been falling and thinning out alot. I go through my head and i see small spots of bare skin.





I really dont know whats going on but people have said its stress. I sometimes jump into a conclusion that theres something wrong inside my head and no i dont mean crazy. I went to the doctor in late Dec. and they said everything looked ok.





Im also gaining weight and maybe not alot but its noticeable. Ive been eating alot lately and then theres days i only eat once. My appetite just goes haywire.

Is there any type of mediaction you can try for the hair loss?

check the thyroid..hypo can cause hair loss
Please see your doctor! Most PCOS patients have problems with hair growth, not loss, and doctors give them Spironolactone for facial/body hair. Find out from your doctor what is happening with your hormones that is causing you to lose hair. Are you taking anything for your PCOS, like Metformin or birth control pills? Or if you are taking something for depression, that might be the cause too.





Hang in there! I know it's not easy, I was diagnosed at 19. Good luck. I can't stress it enough: talk to an endocrinologist.

Mild thalassemia usually does not cause any symptoms. However, symptoms of anemia may develop in more severe forms of the condition and may include:





Weakness.


Fatigue.


Lightheadedness.


Skin that looks paler than normal.


Jaundice (skin and whites of eyes appear yellow).


Dark urine.


Decreased appetite and weight loss (poor growth in a child).


Rapid heartbeat.


Shortness of breath during exercise.I want to know the symptom of thalassaemia? I am 52 years old. Lately I feel very tired and having hair-loss?

About the hair loss,My grandfather told me along time ago,You will know you are getting old,when hair doesn't grow where it is supposed to and grows like crazy everywhere it is not supposed to.Hope this helps.Keep your chin up and face into the wind.
I don't know that Pharmaceuticals would be the best answer in this case. I'm into alternative ways of curing ones self and I've known MANY people who've felt better after following this: Before noon, you are only to eat fruit, (Grapefruit, oranges, papaya, kiwi, melons) and it's better if you can buy organic fruit. For lunch, cut down on your dairy and meat intake, eat A LOT of esparagus and Kale, (not too steamed or you'll lose a lot of necessary nutrients) and a lot of salads with dressings, NOT bought from stores! For your fat intake, avacado, nuts beans... Don't get me wrong you can still enjoy other foods, just try to decrease the quantity of junk that enters your body. Eat VERY lightly, (veggies) before bed. The most fat should be consumed at lunch time, that way, it's not the 1st thing your body eats, however you can burn it off before bed time. Try this diet to make you feel better. Best of Luck!
Heavy menses would be a cause of thalassemia. The symptoms are fatigue, weakness, breathlessness, headaches, rapid weak pulse.





Have you had your thyroid tested? The symptoms you mention are classic for hypothyroidism as well.
There may be no obvious symptoms at all, or there may be mild symptoms such as fatigue that can be traced to the presence of mild anaemia. There may be slight but painless enlargement of the spleen.

Are GPs qualified to do blood tests for hair loss symptoms?

i suspect i have anemia or iron%26amp;zinc deficiency that has caused my hair loss. though i can't rule out hereditary hair loss either but i'm still very young and in high school!!! Are GPs qualified in that area? i think dermatology specialization is also required?Are GPs qualified to do blood tests for hair loss symptoms?
Your GP is a good place to start. Have him/her also test for thyroid problems (hair loss is a very common complaint among persons with thyroid dysfunction).Are GPs qualified to do blood tests for hair loss symptoms?
Zinc can reduce iron consumption. If you use head %26amp; shoulders shampoo (which contains pyrithione zinc) it can lower your iron which can cause hairloss

What do these hair loss symptoms sound like?

Ive noticed recently that ive lost some hair on my hairline, but not in the front but on the corners. I am 19 and i have been really stressed out lately (also anxiety that im working through). Im also big on fitness and every day i usually do several sets of over a hundred straight pushups and over 40 pullups in a row, squats all that. My diet is pretty good, i dont eat anything unhealthy, i take alot of creatine,protein, multivitamins whole grain and real meat. I saw the wrong kind of doctor today and all he basically told me was that it looked like something that could be caused from a traumatic event. (Since then have scheduled with a dermatologist) Mentally ive been going through alot, and also im not sure if working out to intensily could somehow be related. None of my family members say they have lost hair around my age. Im also not missing any hair on my scalp, but like i said just at the left and right side of my hairline. Any help at all is appreciated.What do these hair loss symptoms sound like?
Stress could most certainly be the cause. Are you losing it symmetrically on the right and left upper forehead? If you are that is consistent with male pattern baldness.





If you are working out a lot that could lead to an increase in your testosterone levels which can cause baldness (the hair loss drug Propecia works by reducing the testosterone level in the body).





Although no one in your family lost their hair at your age, if they still lost it eventually then you are likely to go bald. They age at which it occurs may not be the same though. One of my good friend in college had the balding pattern of a 40 year old, so anything is a possibility.





Most likely thought your dermatologist should be able to determine the cause. Good luck. The last thing you need is early baldness to add to your anxiety.What do these hair loss symptoms sound like?
it probably is mentally-


you've heard the saying you make me want to pull my hair out, right?


That's true... sort of.


When your going through alot (stressed) your hair become moderatly thinner, sometimes falling out.


Just stay calm....
Been on minoxidil for about a year and a half and have not seen even the smallest amount of regrowth.





My hair only started visibly growing after doubtfully trying out the natural techniques to re-grow lost hair @ http://www.regrowmyhair.info





I would sincerely %26amp; highly recommend this easy to follow step-by-step guide with pictures to anyone who is suffering from hair loss right now.





Anyway, its also a cheaper and effective way of regrow-ing lost hair compared to those unnatural ways which may involve harsh chemicals that may have side effects.





Good Luck !
The best treatment is to take a course of vitamins known to be effective in promoting hair growth. A medicine rich in sulfur is also recommended as sulfur plays an important part in the structure of the hair. Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/ for more info.
