The hair loss struggle is real...good lord...
Holy bananas!! The amount of hair I'm losing now and for the past few weeks is intense! I'm talking brushs full every time I brush my hair...Lucky for me I have a butt load of hair so it's really just saving me the trip to get it thinned...but I'm getting 90-100g of protein a day and taking all my vits...am I just destined to be balled?

I hear you, I have lost a lot too, hope it slows down soon. There may be a haircut in my near future as well to disguise the loss. I was expecting it but it is sad, especially at this time of year when we could use the hair to keep our heads warm. I asked my nutritionist and she said it was normal, that 3-6 months is usually the worst time, it usually settles down after that. What I wonder about is regrowth, will it be sticking up all over the place?
I've heard a lot of OH vets mention taking Biotin to help with the hair loss issue although they have mentioned that it stimulates the growth of all hair on the body so if you hair unwanted hair on the hands or lip ate, etc..that may grow as well.

I have hair loss now, too. Have to scoop it out of my brush, bathtub and shower drain by the handful. It's just everywhere, ugh! I have thinning hair due to the androgenic alopecia that is caused by PCOS. Sucks. But the hair loss is supposed to be temporary...as far as I know, no one goes bald but it does get very very thin.
I remember how thick your hair is, so it's likely it won't be a problem for you - except having to clean it off of everything all the time.
And...WOW...by the way!! You are losing weight so fast, congratulations! I have not lost nearly as much but I guess everyone is different.
