This may be due to any number of things but the first thought I had was are you female & how old?? Menopause??

I am male. 24 years old. I am losing hair at alarming rate since my diagnosis too.

Ok, well in that case I guess menopause is not likely to be the cause!! At least I sure hope not!!

still despite what many people think men do have hormonal ups & downs too - so hormone imbalance may be worth checking (a simple blood test wiil tell that).

High blood pressure; often due to stress, distress, worry, perfectionism (& therefore never being really satisfied with yourself & your results be it at work or study etc) so as this can also cause hair loss I would suggest you try starting with the following:

a walk at around dawn for about 30-60 minutes, 50mg pd of 5htp (tryptophan - google to get details of what this does & how or I can explain when I have more time), yoga, meditation, relaxation. All these will help destress you & get your system working more healthily.

Oh, & stress etc will also cause confusion>>> the blood spots may be an allergy or as with the flushes a side effect of the high blood pressure &/or hormonal imbalance which is also caused by &or made worse by stress. The thing is once this mnerry go round starts its hard to know what styarted first.

The things suggested above were prescibed by a dr for my daughter r stress so are not just quackery or anything.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am really worried about the blood spots which seems to appear after I exert myself in sports or if I get extremely tensed up in anger.

First, thanks for actually replying/answering questions - so many people say they want help but don't give information to allow help to be given!!

Second, you need to start to take action to help yourself!! so, please start taking a walk 30-60 minutes at around dawn (weather permitting - overcast is ok, but don't get ill in rain etc!! - that won't help!!) try & get a good basic yoga video/dvd that includes yoga meditation (kill 2 birds with one stone) & start doing these too. At your age & as you already do sport your only real problem with this might be the relaxing but my daughter (16) found that doing the meditation in with the yoga was better than trying to actually do a relaxation tape etc.

Both of the above are free/cheap (you could even borrow a yoga tape (library) or 2 & test them out to see what suits you). So there's no excuse except fear/stress & that is what you need to overcome.

Third, where exactly do the blood spots appear?? Face?? Sweat areas?? All over??

fourth, have you changed your diet, job, home environment or travelled recently (like before this started!!)???? I had been overseas for awhile, came home & about 2-3 months later broke out in this horrid rash all around my mouth - the dr explained that sometimes life changes can cause al sorts of odd reactions & this is all it was, once I settled down etc & calmed down about the rash!!!!!!!! it went away. Stress & change can do weird things.
