I LOST MY HAIR AND EYEBROWS ACNE ON MY FACE, STOMACHE LOWER ARMS LEGS BACK AND THIGHS. MY LEFT THYROID WAS REMOVED SIX YEARS AGO. I'M NOT ON MEDICATION. I'M 53 YEARS OLD AND JUST ABOUT IN MENOPAUSE EXPIRENCING LOSS OF MEMORY AND OVERALL FEELING A LITTLE CRAZY. DOCTORS HAVE ORDERED ALL THE USUAL THYROID AD HORMONE BLOOD TESTS WHICH HAVE ALL COME BACK NORMAL, LEAVING ME VERY FRUSTRATED. IF ANYONE HAS HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE AND CAN HELP ME/GIVE ME SOME ADVISE OR SUGGESTIONS, MAYBE SHARE YOUR STORYWITH ME THAT I MAY SHARE WITH MY DOCTOR AND POSSIBLY GET A DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT. THANK YOU

You certainly have a wide range of health issues. I can appreciate your frustrations with seeing so many different physicians and having a variety of blood tests, but still no diagnosis.

The hair loss(for no known reason such as chemotherapy) and full body acne are a real puzzlement. With unexplained hair loss, my first thought is an autoimmune disorder. Have you been worked-up for any type of autoimmune disorder?

I am hoping that another reader will see your story and have some promising suggestion to share.
