What Causes Severe Hair Thinning In An Elderly Person?
Hi--I am a 69 year old female who has always had a lot of thick hair. In the past six months it has gotten really thin. I have not lost a lot at one time and my scalp is not bare but it is thinning and falling out a lot faster than it should. I had my thyroid tested and it is normal. However, I have Sjogrens and wonder if that could be a reason and if there is anything I can do to stop it.
