Hair loss?


I am only 17 years old and in the last few months i seem to have lost an awful amount of hair. I have graves disease, and i have been told that that contributes to hair loss, but when i talked to my doctor he didn't think that was the problem. He instead told me that my iron was low, thus causing it. But even taking iron pills for several weeks, it hasn't stopped. So i am at a loss at what i should try now. I will continue with the pills, in case they haven't taken effect yet, but is there any other things that could be contributing to this? any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I have Graves Disease also. It does cause your hair to fall out no matter what doctors may say. It is also a side affect of thyroid replacement medication.
Try Evening Primrose Oil capsules. I read about it on a thyroid website a few years back. I tried it and it helps a bunch

i heaard peanut butter had iron

Eat more vegetables and fruits and try BOSS Hair Help.

hair loss is due to a shampoo that is not right for your hair or a shampoo that is 2 in 1 so you should get different shampoos and see which ones best@!

It could be Alopecia. My best friend got this when she turned 9 (we are 25 now), but it can happen at any age. It is more common than people think, but most people haven't heard of it because people, especially women, are very self conscious when it comes to hair loss. check out these sites. take care.

Drink 10-12 glasses of water daily and have a high protein diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. Since iron-deficiency anemia can also cause hair loss,make sure that you eat a well-balanced diet that includes a daily serving or two of iron-rich foods. Check out
