I am a 39 yo female really good health. I just got back from getting my hair cut and the hair dresser commented that the top of my head is very thin. She was concerned enough to suggest I see my Dr. She isn't sure if I am losing hair or it is breaking.
She asked if I was on any medications or had a recent illness. I am on armour thyroid, which I have been on for @ 7-9 months and was on synthroid previously for the last 15 years. No illness other than I started having gallbladder issues ayear ago, but still have my GB. I have lost 86#s in the last 13 months through a low fat, high fiber diet and have been vegan for the last 5 months. I excersise 5-6 days a week.
Can eating too little fat cause this? The vegan diet? Or something else completely? I am really worried and plan to see my Dr next week.
