Hair loss

I know I'm reaching, but does anyone have any clue how to stop the hair loss? I've found a consistency between nearly all chronic pain conditions and most of them having the symptom of hair loss, and I'm assuming that its the stress of pain that does it, but no one really knows what causes it. I've lost a lot of hair. I used to have ridiculously thick hair, straight, super healthy. about two months after this started it began coming out, since then its been coming out so much more, sometimes in clumps. I can see my scalp, I've found bald spots. I'm too afraid to let my hair down now, I dread taking a shower. It won't slow down and I have no idea what to do. I'm already in constant pain, my body is already thrashed, I already feel useless and unattractive, and losing my hair, this much hair feels like its just going too far. Help? if you can?

I do have to pick up at lot of my hair every morning but I still have a lot of hair. My Husband, son, his Brother and his son are all bald. They all lost their hair at a young age. For them it is hereditary and I believe it comes from the Mother's side.

There are medical reasons for some hair loss. Perhaps you should run it by your Doctor. Worrying about it will cause more stress.

I have been going through lots of hair loss myself. I just had an hysterectomy and loss my ovaries. I thought it could be from this. I truly believe it's hormonal because I just heard an article about how low hormone levels is the number one reason for hair loss. It said you can buy all the exspensive hair products to try to help but they won't do much until you fixed your hormone levels. I had bought $56 bottle of keratin conditioner plus many other products that in the past worked. There are many great products out there such as the keratin. It helps with the breakage.

I have an appointment next week to check about my hormones. I use to complain about too much hair and now I am complaining about my hair too thin. I have to check my vaccum about every 3 weeks because my hair is long and it wraps so tight around the brush of the vaccum.
