Hair Loss
Well, it finally happened. I thought that maybe I'd be one of the lucky ones, but in the shower yesterday I looked at my hands after shampooing my hair and they were full of hair. Anyone else experiencing this yet? Thankfully, you really can't tell yet. I remember that hair loss was supposed to start around now but does anyone remember when it stops?
I have been losing A LOT of hair as well. I am so disgusted by it that I can't even bear to pick the pile of it up off of the floor - I have to have my husband do it......which is is awesome about doing. I have been losing for about 4 weeks now - 2 weeks of which I was in the hospital for kidney issues (very long story - but I am getting better now). I have heard the hair loss stops around month 6 - but that REALLY worries me. If I keep losing hair at this rate, I am pretty sure I won't have any left come month 6........I am suprised after I blowdry my hair that I even still have any.....daily.
I LOVE my hair - always have -- but, I think this is just one of our trials along the way to a healthier us. I personally think it is worth it -- and this is coming from someone *****ally L-O-V-E-S her hair.
I was just like you thinking 'maybe I am going to be one of the lucky ones' NOT!!
I started noticing it about two weeks ago and I'm losing a lot now, nothing noticeable (like bald spots or anything) but I'll be glad when it stops falling out :-)

I began losing it at about 2 months out. I don't know how much was the low protein (I was taking in over 80 a day, but my body wasn't processing it well) and how much of it was my hypothyroidism. I am now on synthroid and try everyday to get in even more protein, so we shall see if things are better by the 6 month check up. My ponytail is now being made with soft cloth holders and is such a small one that it isn't funny.
