I am so sorry to hear about the things you're dealing with -- and all at once, too! It's possible they are related, and possible they aren't. Let's see what we can figure out.
First, can I ask if you are on any medications? Some medications have side effects that might be affecting you, especially with things like the hair loss and acne.
Anything new in your life recently? Big moves, big changes, especially in the last few weeks? Anything that has caused an increase in stress?
On the fractures, do you know specifically how each one happened? Were you doing something that caused an actual break, or were they stress fractures?
Do you have any history of weak bones in your family, like osteoporosis?
And since you are 41, it's possible you're in perimenopause, with hormones starting to change.... have you noticed any irregular cycles, or are you still consistent in your periods?
I'll post this to see if you can answer some of the questions while I do some research.
