Alopicia and other symptoms

[Georgeofthejungle805]

Im a otherwise health 24 year old male. For a few months now Ive had a bitter bad taste in my mouth as well as thinker mucus or nasal phlegm, cannot tell which it is. My throat tends to hurt in the mornings and after about 6-7 hours after brushing my teeth I can scrape plague off my tongue with my finger. I also began to develop alopica about the same time these other symptons started; on my head and my facial hair Ive got to the Dr. twice and gotten test done. My blood work all comes out normal and my bald spots have no yeast in them. They also tell me my breathing is fine. What could this all mean?

Hi, I recently got diagnosed with alopecia universalis, an auto immune disorder and a few months later with sjrogrens syndrome. The first was characterized by rapid hair loss with what the doctors said was no medical cause. They tried to say it was because I was not handling stress well. After many doctors and tests, they finally tested me for auto immune and inflammatory markers and then told me I had alopecia. Second I would awake in the middle of the night with a dry mouth that felt like cracking when I tried to move my tongue or swallow. A few mornings I even woke up with a black coloured tongue, something caused by dry mouth and long papillae. This coupled with joint pain and swollen lymph nodes in my arm pit meant sjrogrens.

I would ask to be checked for both. The doctor said they often present together. I now use special dry mouth toothpaste and sprays, and have had my long papillae shaved down at the dentist to prevent the random waking up with discoloured tongue.

Good luck. Don't take no or 'I don't know, you're fine' or 'it is caused by stress' as an answer.

Hi George.

Please do a saliva test for candida. Just follow the easy online instructions
for instant results.
An indirect consequence of candida is hair loss.

Look into zinc and/or biotin deficiency,as well as hypothyroidism.
For the latter you may do on your own the Dr. Barnes Basal Temperature
Test, but please follow the online info precisely.
If you choose the medical route, insist on Free T3, Free T4 AND Reverse T3 tests!!! Very important, as the standard thyroid tests are flawed.

Hope this helps.
