I am seeing him/her on October 16. I am hoping I will have some new blood tests. When I had the testing before I was a bit of a mystery because I had one of the factors in my blood but normally a person has 2 with discoid lupus. They went with discoid lupus because they didn't really know what else my symptoms could be. I am hoping I can at least have a definite diagnosis. I have made a note of a test that another contributor on this site had when she had the same dilemma. If I can eliminate the lupus then I will be one step further towards finding the right diagnose. I have a lot of suggestions from other members on this site and I will work through them all. I see the GP this afternoon and will also ask for a thyroid test. I am trying! Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions.

Hello @pollyanne . Has your hair and scalp issue been solved? I have been having itchy scalp and thinning hair for quite some time. I don't have a problem with chunks of hair coming out, but I do lose hair in the shower and when running a comb through my wet hair. Then when I blow dry it, more comes out in my comb. I have MS (in remission) and Parkinson's. I'll be talking to both my neurologist and my dermatologist. I've been taking biotin and zinc. I've used Nizoral shampoo and tea tree shampoo, shampoo with biotin and collagen, none made a difference. I hardly ever eat red meat, so I bought some iron capsules that claim to not constipate. It didn't help but maybe I didn't give them enough time to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.
