Feeling tired and weak and loosing hair?

[Shaniece]

I don't get to post here much anymore as working full time but know MN is the place for great advice.

I have never felt so tired in all my life, I'm knackered and my hair is falling out not in clumps but loads of hair when I brush it I'm really worrying now. Have had my HB and thyroid checked and awaiting results, does anyone know what else could be causing me to feel like this? Thanks.

I would wait for your results, but does sound like thyroid.

Have you lost weigh at all? Or even gained it? Do you have a cough?

i am losing my hair turns out i have low iron stores have you been checked for iron you could be anemic

not sure what HB is so apologies if that is iron check

i only have low iron stores but have been severly anemic in the past and was bed ridden with such low energy

but if your losing hair would have thought they would of checked for iron straight away

could you be depressed as that can leave you low energy and stress can cause you to lose your hair

I started losing hair when I was v anaemic. I think HB is an iron check

I'm on iron replacement therapy now, and feeling great. Hope you're fixed as easily!

fanjobanjo - I have lost weight but not drastic amounts and I have a cough but mainly at night, why do you ask?

bubblagirl - I have been told it could be anaemia as I have had this before. Didn't realise stress can cause hair loss, I hve been under loads of stress lately, i.e, new job, missing the kids and generally knackered.

Thanks for advice.

Could be thyroid.
shortly before I was diagnosed with a underactive thyroid I had a small bald patch develop on the back of my head.
My doctor now tells me that it was most probably due to my thyroid.
It has since grown back.

Loosing weight, exhaustion and coughing - have you had your TB (BCG) jab?

(Don't panic, TB is treatable with antibiotics nowadays)

Thanks sushi and lostit. I hope it's not TB. I think it could be i'm anaemic. What's worrying me is about a year ago I had an endoscopy because bloods came back as possible Coeliacs disease, but endoscopy didn't show anything. I'm wondering if it could be that?? Hair loss was one question the Doc asked me if I remember rightly. Worrying now.

DON'T WORRY - it won't help. (easier said than done, I know!)

Once you know what it is I'm sure you'll feel a lot more peaceful about it.
