I am also noticing huge hair loss. I'm afraid I will also need a wig in the future if it keeps going as I'm extremely thin now on top and you can see my scalp.
What I find interesting is every single time I do wash my hair it sends me into a complete flare.
I used to wash my hair everyday, now 2 times a week because I can't deal with the after effect. Somehow I believe when washing my hair it stimulates the nerve fibers.
But, yes definitely a lot of hair loss here as well. 😞 I can relate to looking in the mirror and thinking how much this has aged me in a short time.

I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency and with treatment multiple symptoms are improving. I’m not sure if that caused my hair loss, but am seeing dermatologist and am taking oral Minoxidil that has stopped shedding and caused new growth.
