Good evening,
My goodness, I don't feel too good.
I'm going through the menopause, but didn't think it was too bad until now.
But I feel very down, cry at anything and my hair is coming out in alarming clumps. I came on my period yeaterday after not having one for months (nearly a year). I feel very up and down which I presume is due to hormones.
At this rate I will have no hair left and i'm really worried.

Definitley agree with PP. It could be anything from menopause to a vitaminn deficency to thyroid, anemia, even medication you are taking. I don't mean to scare you but I had no period for over 8 months during menopause then they came back with a vegence. Turns out it was womb cancer. So absolutely book yourself a doctors appointment. Hopefully it's something that can be diagnosed with a simple blood test and treated. All the best.
