To all members who are describing heavy hair loss. If you have other symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, racing heart, tiredness, feeling agitated, hand tremors (to name a few) PLEASE mention all these symptoms to your doctor and ask if it could be a thyroid problem.

Hair loss was one of my symptoms before I was diagnosed with Graves Disease. Apparently (according to my doctor) 1 in 9 women have an undiagnosed thyroid problem... usually it's under active but sometimes it's overactive which can be potentially life threatening if left untreated. I am now on medication which has stabilised the condition. I don't wish to scare you all, but it's something to consider.
