Sorry i didn't answer sooner or personally, but I have been having a hectic month and more. I am not taking any medicines besides eltroxin for my thyroid . However, I have felt that I was / am going thru some problems with ns. the thing is recently, I lost all of hair on top of my head. It was thinning, but not at a rate that all of once, I have nothing left. Can a flare-up of Ns cause this? Both my parents had hair in their old age, so I don't think that's the cause.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I wasn't on any meds and I still lost 50-70% of all my hair last year. It was so bad that I ended up shaving off what was left. Doc said it was alopecia areata (AA) which is an autoimmune disorder in which the body sees hair as an invader. My hair is just starting to come back in but is now mostly gray (mainly velous hair aka peach fuzz / baby hair). I asked around a bit when this happened. Apparently not a common symptom of NS or sarc but there appears to be a small percentage of folks that experience this. More interesting was the high number of folks with AA that have other autoimmune illnesses such as lupus, arthritis, etc. Peace, Tony > > > Subject: hair loss > To: neurosarcoid66@..., neurosarcoidosis > Date: Tuesday, April 21, 2009, 4:19 AM > > > > > Hi, > First i want to thank all those who answered me and helped me out.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Interesting, I know that between the thyroid issues- which either hyper or hypo-- hair thins r becomes an issue in places where it shouldn't be growing, that for me, mine is so thin and fine-- I now have "natural" curls. go figure. Add all the immunosuppressants-- and it's amazing that we keep any hair at all. I have a wonderful widow's peak now-- and I'm sure that what has left my head is now taking up residence on my belly. Buggers since I am a woman. What can I say-- It will be nice when we have more answers than questions.
