What Causes Hair Loss, Fatigue, Brain Fog And Joints Pain?
I am 45 year old female. My symptoms include hair loss ( I have a large bald spot on the top of my head), strange changes to my fingernails, extreme exhaustion, painful joints, brain fog. I have been experiencing these symptoms for several years, but they are getting worse. Can you give me an idea of what I might need to do. I do not have health insurance and cannot afford expensive tests.
