Hair falling out
Ok am I a lost cause? 
Am I doomed to go bald & be forced to sweat to death underneath a wig? I have done everything! I was using Pantene shampoo & conditioner.I started taking the xtra vitamins they say to take for hair falling out-Biotin,B-Complex,Zinc.Then I got Biotin shampoo & conditioner from GNC.NOTHING IS WORKING
!!! All I have to do is run my fingers through my hair & get a brush full amount that comes out.I lose about a brush or two full A DAY! Even the grey that comes in falls out.From the root! It was falling out before I guess because of my diabetes but my numnbers started going down & the hair falling out slowed to almost stopped.It started again about a month after surgery.And has continued to get worse.It`s all over the house.If I wash dishes it`s in the dish water.It`s on the clothes strait out of the dryer.I have to be verrrry careful when cooking or it ends up in the food.
Even if I put it in a ponytail.It`s all over the floor & furniture.My family says it`s worse than the cat shedding
.I DO NOT WANT TO cut it short.But to minumize the agravation I have been thinking about it.JUST THINKING! Is there anything else I can do?Oh an I`ve tried minoxidill & it doesn`t work either.
Thanks for any help at all.

Hi Kim,
Hope you are doing well. Its been a while since we talked. I had this problem too for about 9 months. The only thing Ive found that has helped me is increasing my protien intake. I average about 90 grams a day, and still do protien shakes almost everyday! It helps keep my appetite under control and ward off mindless snacking! It really helped once I found a protien powder i really like and actually crave! I cant hardly believe that....
Anyway, over the summer I started noticing my hair finally starting to grow back and now barely noticable. My left temple is still a little thin for my liking, but I also see new growth coming in. Im not a patient person......The good part is the areas where I lost alot of hair and now has new growth is coming back very healthy looking and wavy! WHOO HOOOOOO
....over the years Ive paid dang good money to get wavy hair, and I finally have it now....Yeeee hahhh! 
LOL! Anyway, its going to be annoying and unavoidable, but it WILL get better, just keep your protien numbers up as high as possible....As for cutting off your hair, I dont blame you for not wanting to....but I found that taking it to just above my shoulders really helped with the annoyance.....Also, it created less tension (thereby less hair loss) on my scalp not having to wear it in such a tight ponytail too...I eventually started loosly twisting it into a bunn and wearing it like that to alleviate the tension and shedding too. It wasnt very pretty, but it made it tolerable for cleanup. I hope this helps....PM me if you want to. I would love to catch up with you!
