Hey tiff, thanks for adding your two cents, every penny helps. I've never had a full head of hair like the rest of my family, it's always been fine and thin. So with it still falling out it's making me crazy. I do know that this is an almost normal occurance after surgery related to anesthesia. Hair loss can last up to a year, according to one of the anesthesiologists at work. We're almost a year and a half out and hair is still being lost. The only thing I can think of is that I had a colonoscopy in October 2007 and the anesthesia from that has trigered the hair to start falling out again. For you dry and brittle hair, have you tried a hot oil treatment or, now I know this sounds crazy but how about smothering your hair w/ mayonaise for a few hours w/ a shower cap over it. My hair dresser recommended this to me once and it seem to work. Hope you had a great weekend. Donna, sfy

Hi Donna wow, you do eat a lot of protein. much more than i do. sometimes by nightfall i still did not get in any protein. i have turned into a carb junkie. what may be happening is that you may not be absorbing all the protein that you are taking in.
