Wiggin' Out!!

Hi all, I am really starting to wig out!! I am losing my hair by the handsfull. I am getting my protein, biotin, vitamins, etc. I am beginning to think about a wig. I am tryiing to get in to see my stylist thinking of going short for summer. I know this is temporary but at this rate I'll be really funny looking above the shoulders by next month. I am wondering if anyone else has had to start wearing a wig or has any suggestions. I started with really fine thin hair to begin with.

Yes Yes Yes every time I run my finger through my hair or wa**** I have more in my hand than on my head. I have taken to wearing a hat a lot. My dr says that it is normal and some of it will grow back some I guess we'll have to wait and see. Peggy

Yes same here. I am loosing it right an left like a dog shedding. I take vitamins, biotin, use Nioxin shampoo etc.. nothing is helping. But I can say that last year while doing a liquid protein diet, losing 50 lbs (gained it back!) I also lost half of my hair volumne, and it did grow back. Plus since I was using the Nioxin it grew back much much thicker. So when this hair loss began I had more the begin with. So I am hoping once this stopped the Nioxin will help to have good re-growth. I had to have my hair cut very very short, because it jus looked awful so thin on top. Short works looks better and it quite to fix in the mornings. Kiva.

Another suggestion is temporarily use Rogaine for Men (not the women's forumla - not strong enough for us WLS baldies )

I take biotin, all my vitamins and get in plenty of protein... now I use Nioxin too but mine is still coming out by the handfulls! It sucks! If I loose anymore in the crown area I will be wigging it too! Right now my hair is REALLY short!!!
