About a year into having CFS I noticed that my hair was often going very thin and limp at different periods, and that this would correlate with the severity of certain symptoms. When I say going thin, I do not mean losing hair. I mean each strand goes thinner. It isn't just a trivial amount, it completely changes how my hair looks and feels. It has nothing to do with hair washing either. In just a matter of hours it can go from being thick with a lot of shape and volume, able to stand up on its own in a quiff, to then being extremely thin and limp and not able to stand at all.
My blood tests come back with no issues, although I was at one time very vitamin d deficient and my hair was constantly having this problem at that time. Just recently, I have gotten the same symptoms back from when I was vitamin d deficient despite my levels being very healthy. This includes the constantly limp hair which is what motivated me to make this post. One thing that fixed it temporarily was when I took DHEA-S supplements, for a few days my symptoms improved dramatically and my hair was back to how it used to be. But this didn't last, and it was definitely not a good idea for me to take DHEA.
Has anyone else had this strange issue with their hair? It's difficult to find on google, because searching thin hair only seems to come up with
