Hi- I also had the dry and falling hair, chronic fatigue, fibro, severe migraines, hypoglycemia, bipolar disorder, PTSD and very dry skin. I was also on birth control and many psyc meds for close to 20 years.
I would recommend that you research Dr. James Wilson(Read his book), Dr. Larry Wilson and Dr. Lam. These 3 seem to agree that AF is caused by
1) Emotional stress- Past and present
2) Physical stress such as surgery, poor diet, addiction(smoking, alcohol and drug abuse), injury, exhaustion,
food allergies and
Amalgam fillings.
3) Chronic infections - parasites, lyme, candida, hiv, hepatitis etc, etc
4)Environmental - Toxic chemicals and pollutants in the air, water, clothing, household off gassing etc.
The above cause toxic overload and nutritional deficiencies. So the tricky part is to find and eliminate all of the possible contributers and find a solution.
I myself have
1)Quit taking all prescribed and otc drugs for bipolar disorder and anxiety 5 years ago.
2)changed my diet to a paleo whole foods diet that is sugar, grain, additive free diet.
3)eliminated
food allergies
4)had all mercury fillings removed
5)counselling for childhood issues
6)stopped using toxic chemicals in the home,including toxic beauty products
7)intensive
parasite and bowel cleansing- Ozone treatments for lyme disease.
8)have been on a Nutrtional Balancing program with hair analysis with

for almost 1 year. I was in the exhaustion stage 3 when I started and extremely low in all minerals except 2. My sodium was 2 and potassium 1. Today my sodium is 13 and the potassium is 3. Much better than it was.
After all of this I am about 95% healed. I am now focusing on a few herbs to boost my immune system and am still working on chronic infections. I have completely healed the adrenals, thyroid and am able to excercise each day for 1.5 - 2 hours per day for the past 7 weeks. My mind is clear and I feel positive and joyful.
This is just my own personal experience. Healing naturally requires alot of patience and perseverance but it is worth it.
If you would like to start Dr. L Wilson's free program it is here.
