losing my hair

Kelly thanks for the info on the shampoo... I thought I was getting eough protein... I guess not... Brenda

I'm getting plenty of protein and taking Biotin.....and it's still falling out everywhere. My doctor says it just happens with some people and you can't stop it. I just hope I'm not bald before this ends. Melissa

Thanks Melissa, I hope that I'm not bald too... Brenda

Mine is also starting to fall out some, luckily not by the hadfuls, as it is VERY thin anyway, and I barely have a handful. I have been taking Biotin nightly since I got home from the hospital, and I do try to make sure I get my protien in. I wish I could afford the Biotin, but even from Walmarts Hair Shoppe, it is pretty expensive. Good Luck Brenda, and know that you are not alone! Susan Lap RNY 12-1-04 285-216-155 (-69)

Thank you Susan, I loved your nice words... I hope that I make it throgh this... Or should I say I hope that we make it through... Brenda

Lord have mercy.... not only am I losing my hair, but I must be losing my mind. I just read what I wrote, and I had it all wrong.... I can afford the Biotin, it is the Nioxin Shampoo that I can't afford. Even at Walmarts prices.... Susan

There is more hair on my bathroom floor that on my head!!! I have talked to my doctor about this and he said there is really nothing you can do, it is the body's response to the anesthesia from surgery. I do recall that after my hysterectomy I lost a lot of hair. It did eventually stop and the hair that grew back was just beautiful. I say was because it is all falling out now. It is depressing, but I refuse to get stressed out about it. If I loose my hair because of surgery, I think it is ok, because I am not loosing my hair due to cancer. Now that would be something to be upset about. It is only hair and it does grow back, thicker and better. Cheer up everyone...if we all go bald, we can start a support group for skinny bald people!

Thanks Cheryl The site may be field with skinny bald people before it is all over with... Brenda

Take the biotin, watch your protein, trim the hair a little shorter and then buy some funky hats. The hair loss is temporary and it will grow back. You just have to weather the storm. Don't colour or perm your hair during the hair-loss period. Karen G

Karen G I do take biotin and watch me protein in-take. I have been thinking of cutting the hair. But to do know it.
