Pernicious anaemia

[PurpleParis]

My partner has recently been diagnosed with pernicious anaemia and is having vitamin B12 shots to boost him up. Could the anaemia or the vitamin B12 be causing his hair to stop growing? It's just that is hasn't grown at all over the last four weeks?

Yes.

Sorry...have read your question again.

Yes it is the P.A that is causing the hair problem but this will be reversed when the blood picture is back to normal.

Thank you Sqad, bless him, he thought he was gonna go bald aswell as all the other things that have gone wrong! Still....his case has made him famous at the hospital, he is being used as a case study now! Fame at last!
