Blood tests are extra stupid

So not only was my blood test completely traumatic (well not the test itself, but certainly the time leading up to it), but it came back with no answers whatsoever. Turns out I'm healthy as a horse (a pretty unhealthy horse).  The doctor looked at me like I was a crazy person that I was upset about this result but really I still have no answer as to why more of my hair is falling to the floor than staying on my head. There is so much hair on my body that I would be totally fine to see fall out, but head hair is pretty important to me. Apparently there is another blood test I can go get to see if my body is not storing iron properly (the iron flowing around in my bloodstream is A-ok)...yep, that's so not happening.
I am going to get a haircut and chat to the hairdresser and am going to focus on decreasing stress and see if either of those things get me going in the right direction. If not then I will try a naturopath to see if the hair and fatigue can be combated from a nutritional or natural direction (I don't suppose that Cheetos for breakfast is really the best for energy levels and hair-growth support?)
