Help with Hairloss

Hey guys I was lossing my hair a hand full at a time, starting about at 3 months. Then at 4 months I started taking extra Folic acid in a liquid form (because I have to have it liquid) but it has helped soooooo much. I still am finding stray hairs here and there, but nothing at all like it was in the shower or after brushing. I counted it up and with this new vitamin, and my regular vitamin I'm getting in a little over 2,500 mcg of Folic Acid. Another thing I started to do is to use a 2in1 and I think that has helped in the shower also. Hope this helps guys. I know it has for me. Bekah

Great info Bekah....yeah mine is getting REALLY BAD! I have always shed but this is clearly intense... Thanks for the heads up on Folic Acid...I dont take that...I do take Biotin though but obviously not enough... I have problems with the taste of vitamins gagging me...so I have gone back to 2 Flintstones (was on Juice Plus), extra iron and Biotin... what are you taking?

Pam, I take a high potency liquid vitamin. Then I take a liquid calcium to help with bone density later in life, the calcium also helps with my restless legg syndrome, then I take a liquid b-6/b-12 vitamin, if I don't take that I get real dizzy all the time. I take my benefiber for regularity, and I DO NOT FORGET THAT!!! I take a liquid biotion, and my liquid folic acid. I know that them all being liquid also helps with absorbtion, and the vitamin, the calcium, the B vit, and the folic acid all have a nasty taste to them, so I put them all in a small cup, and then put a couple of tablespoons of Sunny D in it because it covers the taste pretty good, since its so strong.

Wow Bekah I have wondered if I could swallow the liquid ones...I assume they will make me gag..but man it would be easier to get it all over with at once I did find a B Complex sublingual liquid at walmart its not bad at all... where did you get your stuff? guess I need to go shopping!

me again.... I have RLS too and its been worse lately...just last nite I had to find some icy hot to help settle them so I could rest....my body gives me a warning...when i get sleepy if i dont go to bed right then, my legs start screamin and I know I missed my chance.... I have always been that way.....its so irritating sometimes and I NEED that benefiber cause I have serious constipation issues since surgery.. Guess I will run to GNC at lunch...thanks! I just pray I can swallow it all without gagging..lol

Pam, Hey chick, you know if I go one day with out my calcium I feel the effects that night!! I hate my RLS its so disturbing. Ever since my Doctor told me that I needed to take to Calcium so that my bones won't start deteriating later in life, I noticed that my RLS had gotten better. I missed a day of it one time, and that night had it bad, so I havn't missed it since and havn't had RLS since. My liquid calcium is an orange flavor so I put it in with my Sunny D (low sugar) and I take in about 2400mg a day. I sleep so great now. Oh yeah the Benefiber, I take 1- 1/12 tablespoons a day EVERYDAY!!! I make sure not to miss that, it will take about 4 days to "start" working. Get the tasteless powder and put it in your water, it really is tasteless.

I have never posted before, but decided to log on today to post re: hair loss! So wierd that this was 1st post I saw! Anyway, thanks for the info on the folic acid, i feel like i will be bald shortly if i dont do something! mine started falling out around the 3 month mark too and has continued without any sign of slowing.

the hair will all come back in whether you do anything about it or not. So dont fret. ok. Mine is all ready starthing to come back in my hairdresser said. lots of little baby hair all thur out my head. as i say bald is beautiful and i would rather be bald than fat so even if it were a permanent thing i could go buy a wig if need be. Not going to worry about it. Jan

thank you for the words of encouragement! I know that it will come back in, and yes, i would rather not be fat anymore either, so i am dealing with it, just hoping that it slows down soon!

My hair is coming out in gobs. I am taking the Biotin too but appreciate the tip on the folic acid. Pam I am taking Centrum Chewables they are an Orange Flavor. I started with them right after surgery then liked them and stayed with the chewables.
