Hi Mimi, I’m really sorry you’re going through this—it sounds incredibly distressing. What you’re describing doesn’t sound typical and may need urgent medical attention. Please consider seeing a doctor or a neurologist as soon as possible, and don’t hesitate to go to the ER if symptoms worsen. You're not alone, and there are professionals who can help figure out what’s going on. Sending you strength and hoping you get answers soon.

I wish Mimi and all of you going through this the best of luck with doctors. If anyone finds a doctor and/or a diagnosis, PLEASE post on here and mention me (@dreamcrafterjr). I already have a team of neurologists and have for several years that diagnosed and treat me for hypersomnia, epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, and migraines. My first and second tonic-clonic seizure came out of no where and we're approximately 3 yrs apart. After the 2nd, I was dx with Juvenille Myoclonic Epilepsy in my mid 30's!! Just a few years after being dx with Hypersomnia. After the seizures, came the dx of Trigeminal Neuralgia. Since self discovery of the hair issues and even research, I have seen 4 dermatologists, 1 rheumatologist, my new PCP who is a D.O. vs an MD, my neurologists, my gynecologist, and now an ENT...oh, and I started out at the ER and have been back once in severe sharp pain once since then. All to have no luck. I am so discouraged and discussing it with doctors has now become more distressing to me. I see a psychiatrist and a therapist and have been prior to discovering the issue. Although I am doing better mentally in some ways, I have set backs every time I go to a doctor and try to discuss this issue. I am currently doing some self skin treatments that appear to be helping a great deal, especially with the circulation. It is still up for debate as to if my hair issues are going to resolve. I am very careful in the products I use, not to strip my skin too much and to make sure I re-moisturize it. I also take 1000mg of Vitamin C every day, which I did have labs done and found this to be deficient (which is rare).
