I been suffering with hair loss and migraines. Always tired

I am 34 years old female of 2 kids recently for the last few weeks.
I noticed my thick beautiful hair coming out loss of hair i thought was normal but when i ran my fingers threw my hair i recently gotten a shock it came out in clumps not a normal strands here or there but clumps. The last few months i noticed my hair was thinning out so in thought nothing of it some hair in the sink when i brush my hair or when i wash it when it is wet i been loosing hair clogging up the tub i thought that was normal.

But the last few weeks i been very tired and hair loss the thick hair i used to have is thin now and migraines horrible migraines. I am popping Asprin all the time to care for the pain i told the dr about it and he gave me a stronger pain reliever but i am still not able to control the migraines.

These migraines are so painful that it litterly hurls me over and i am in pain crying. My front of my head hurts the back of my head hurts. It hurts so much that my skull feels like pin cushion for pain. I cry and think to my self i want to drill holes in my head to relieve the pain.

I told the dr what was happening he thinks it is the stress from the migraines i told him the migraines are always and constant that it is getting worse on a daily basis that migraines should not come all the time. He asked me to try out the pain reliever and if it did not work to call him.

I also noticed stroke like symptoms with the migraines where my face feels paralyzed and it is hard to talk like slurry speech. Been like that for 6 months now i told the Dr it and he says once again it is stress but i know it is not. walking and talking is impossible and numbness. This last any where from half hour to a hour.When attacks occur.

My periods are off i am noticing spottiness one month and heaviness the next. The heavy periods they last really long normal periods go away with in 1 to 5 days these periods are lasting 2 weeks straight. One day heavy the next light it all depends i go threw a box of tampons a month which normally it should last anyone 2 to 3 months worth. I had a pap smear a year ago nothing came of it the Dr said it was fine i was in and out of the Dr for chronic yeast infections and kidney infections and bladder infections . They give me medication and it cures up and another one occurs.

I took a Aids/HIV test it came back negative so that is a relief my problem is i am not able to control my migraines my hair is falling out.

I told the Dr this and he tells me it could be stress i don't think so. I am all out of reasoning why this is happening. I am sick and tired and i am sick of being tired.

Kristy, have you been checked for auto-immune diseases? My daughter has Lupus & it causes her hair to fall out & it is thinning quite a bit. Has your doctor done any blood work to rule these things out? Her periods have changed as well. Your doctor could be right & this could all be related to your migraines. My grandson has migraines & he gets slurred speech & trouble talking with them. The hair falling out could be stress related very easily because you must be under a lot of stress when your migraines hit.

I hope the new med works for you & you get some relief. Keep talking to your doctor but if you are not getting the relief you need or you don't feel you are being heard, it may be time to find a new one. Or see if he will refer you to a rheumatologist or internist. Hugs, Denise

Hi Kristy, welcome to our little corner of the world. I am sorry you are not getting any relief and I will tell you one thing from personal experience, narcotics will Not get rid of migraines and they tend to make them worse. If I were you i would insist my doctor send me to a Neurologist for testing. If nothing shows up, so what, better safe than sorry with our health I say Keep in Touch, everyone ones experience is valuable here and your could make it easier for someone else who has these same symptoms.

Hello I'm new in here and I'm not a doctor 'just' a patient but I wonder if you've considered Lyme Disease.

It can cause hair loss, Bell's Palsy' type symptoms as well as localised numbness and tingling; along with fatigue, joint & muscle pain, neurological problems including terrible headaches / migraines...?

Please, Please go see a Neurologist and get an MRI! I had almost those exact symptoms and mine turned out to be a Meningioma the size of a baseball. It wasn't malignant but it took 9 1/2hours of brain surgery to get it all out. I'm not trying to scare you, its just a matter of better safe than....And Neurologists are way better at treating Migraines anyway, and they don't prescribe narcotics to mask it, they try to find out what's causing it. That's my opinion for what its worth and I hope you feel better anyway

have you seen a biological dentist?
