Re: appetite gone/hair loss

Hi Ainslie Others are better to answer your lupron Q's.

But hair loss can be a symptom of anemia. Are you feeling very tired/weak?

If you are not eating properly, your iron levels will get too low. Blood loss from surgery/periods can be the oritinal anemia causing factor or just simply poor diet. This can be successfully treated with iron tablets/injections once diagnosed by a simple blood test.

Once your bodies iron levels drop below a critical point - it is very difficult for the body to get back to normal iron levels. Thats where iron tablets help.

When I have anemia, I loose my apetite too. So its a vicious circle, blood loss/poor apetite causes poor iron levels causes anemia causes worse apetite.

Hope this helps
