What can cause Alopecia (hair loss) & Raynaud's (purple coloured toes) !
Question: What can cause Alopecia (hair loss) & Raynaud's (purple coloured toes) to occur together?
This usually occurs when someone has Lupus but I don't have Lupus.
Is there any other condition/disease that can cause these 2 things to happen together?
I also have:
Severe fatigue, shortness of breath, poor healing, dizziness, eye pressure/pain behind eyes, chronic runny nose, nausea/gas/bloating, purple colouration and sunken appearance under eyes
Answers:
Yes! Thyroid disease! All of this is indicative! Have ANTIBODIES test as well as TSH. TSH should be .3 - 3. Most common is hypO and most common reason is Hashimoto's disease (antibodies present). Hashi's causes one to go up & down in the beginning then goes down (hypO) & stays. It is an autoimmune disease and when a person has one they often get others too.
I wish you well.
