I have had hairloss now for 21 months, also i have developed an annoying pricking sensation in the eye ... any ideas on the hair and eye? I m wondering can it be Candida? I am on iron tablets and Vit D .... still struggle with tiredness and depressive tendencies .... ?
It is difficult to comment about cause of hair loss and eye irritation in your case. But one thing is clear from your description that your weight is very less. Malnutrition can lead to hair loss, dry eyes and depressive symptoms.
In your case, it is better to get investigated for low weight. Same time start healthy diet and weight monitoring.
Wish you all the best.
