I have inflammations in my shoulder, beneath the sole of one foot and have pains and aches overall, My skin has become quite blotchy and I am always runny low and feeling tired. I seem to pick up cold/viruses easily and I have notices some hair loss, my parting is getting wider and my scalp is clearly visible. I have just turned 50 and have had some blood test to check for premenopausal markers which have come back negative.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The frequent infections may be related to an impaired immune system. The use of multivitamins supplements may help with this.
In addition, there are blood tests such as the full blood count which can take a look at your white cell count.

White cells respond to infection, inflammation. If they are not working well then infections can occur.

Screening for diabetes or any medications that can affect immunity would also be important.

Hair loss can be due to different possible causes such as vitamin deficiency, thyroid disease, anemia, stress etc.
Your doctor would be able to determine your likely cause.

I hope this helps
