The many symptoms of LC are baffling and strange. I have had LC now for 9 months and I, too, have had the hair loss and head/scalp tenderness and then identified that it is yet another LC symptom. Luckily, I had a thick head of hair somehow at age 85 so I am not bald yet and I have to hope that it is temporary and will improve. The scalp itching and tenderness has gone away and I am hoping the hair will grow back as other symptoms have improved. My Dr. is most encouraging that I will get better and I can see slow improvement in other symptoms like the fatigue, brain fog and dizziness and PEM which were constant and are now not as intense and not every day. I appreciate the support of this group as most people have no idea how difficult and debilitating LC can be plus the medical folks who deny it exists.
