It's the cause that is difficult to say and that's where I'm going to get help, but since it take some time, I like to be prepared and know as much as possible before seing the doc and discussing it with him. I always do like that to be sure that I got the best care I can get. Too much bad experiences I guess. If you'rent prepared you can't argue with a doc that is going to treat you wrong (read do nothing).

When you mentioned the weight loss, I think that's more worrying. I don't mean to scare you, but in all the people I knew who had cancer (touch wood!), they started losing a lot of weight in a short period of time. Hope you see the doctor soon & keep us posted!

And thyroid disease (or anything with the endocrine system) is hereditary. I was amazed at how many things were affected. I only know because I have it. I won't do internet research because I scare myself into thinking my head will explode or my feet will fall off. The back issues would be worsened also with a thyroid problem.

Usually, it takes me being in a lot of pain to get me there. My doctor, upon hearing my concern, didn't seem to be overly sympathetic. Then I realized I said all this to a man who was pretty much bald up top...lol. Before going to the doctor, I did the same thing as you, and was busy cruising the internet trying to come up with a self- diagnosis. When I came across the thyroid possibility, a light bulb went off in my head, "A-ha, THAT's gotta be it. I haven't taken my thyroid medication in months." And as it turned out, as soon as I started taking my medicine everyday, like I should've been doing all along, my excessive hair loss stopped. WOO HOO!!!!! I hope it turns out to be that simple for you, MrsL! Hair loss paniced me enough that I actually went to the doctor, which is something I try to avoid at all cost.

You hardly beleive your eyes when it starts.... I'd be very lucky if it stops, I must admit that! We'll sleep as rocks, hope you too.
