Hair Loss in Fibromyalgia
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
Although it may seem like a small point given how devastating the illness itself is, the hair loss and hair thinning commonly seen in fibromyalgia routinely adds even more insult to the injury.
Until now, all we could do help promote healthy hair was to recommend getting good nutritional support (I've said before that a good combination for this is the Energy Revitalization System vitamin powder and Iron Complex™) and to make sure you have healthy thyroid function. Although these may help considerably, all too often it isn't enough.
The hair on your head is not continuously growing. Hair follicles normally produce hair in a cycle characterized by two or more years of hair growth followed by a temporary "resting" state that may last a couple of months before repeating the cycle. At any given time 10% to 20% of your hair follicles are in this resting state. Unusual hair loss is most often caused by a condition called Telogen Effluvium. This is where a severe stress or infection (such as fibromyalgia, any of a number of infections, or adverse changes in thyroid hormone levels) causes many of your hair follicles to go into the resting (telogen) phase. But rather than returning to the growth phase, the hair falls out, making you want to cry when you look at your hairbrush!
This hair thinning is what happens all too often in fibromyalgia.
