WHAT IS THE DEAL?

MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT AGAIN???????? I AM 5 YRS OUT...IS IT STRESS OR MY BODY TELLING ME SOMETHING?

Can be anything - low proteins, low thyroid, low iron - ferritin, and some other vitamins.  Hormonal... you name it... or just stress... 

When last time you had a detailed blood work?  like real detail? 

if in a while - time to go again.. 

last time was when u told me to... when u were helping me...so what over a yr.. guess i thought since i  did gain so much weight back my body was getting what it needed...I KNOW some of it is stress...cant MAKE my self get back on track...

Gaining weight mean you were getting too much calories - but not necessary nutrition.   I know - that sucks.  Last 2 weeks I "gained" 10 lbs.. most of it is water - because I was sick and my BS was crashing, and I had to eat something with my meds, and......  eating meat or fish made me sick... so I ate fruits and crackers, and chips... so I did carb-loading... yea... it sucks.. But I know I did not get near close to min 60 gr of proteins a day... and I need 100 to be OK.  I know that a few days will not "kill me" but next few days I will be getting as much proteins and cutting down carbs... 

Please go and ask for detailed lab work... Low iron-ferritin - may cause the hair to fall out, same with low proteins.. 

Get the lab work. Start there... 

will have to wait...finances are a mess

sorry babe. Last year my insurance paid for all my tests. This year - I know I will have bunch of bills (changed insurance) and MRI, and some other tests and docs visits.. 

Good luck. 

Try to increase the proteins, and make sure if anything else - you take the multi , calcium and iron.   

Hi Cajunbuderfly.  We have been missing you.  Like Hala asked, how is your vitamin regiment.  If you don't get good readings on your lab work then yes, your hair can fall out, your skin can dry out, your hold body will lose energy.  Until I got right on my vitamins, my hair was falling out in huge chunks.  Since then, I have had surgery twice in the past two years and have had to deal will hair loss again from when they put you under and the effects of it.  Also, if you are STRESSED to the max, this will cause your hair to fall out too!  Soooo, other than hair falling out, how have you been?

I know it is my fault...i dont take ANY vitamins on a regular basis...and I am over eating...eating every chance i get once i am home...blah blah blah you have heard it all...I need that click to occur in my head ...I know I 'can't" allow my self to let go...but I am lazy is all I can figure. this is embarassing (sp) but it is the truth..

Hi cajunbuderfly,

when my hair starts falling out again I assume I haven't been getting enough protein.  I probably haven't!  I assume I haven't been taking my vits.  I probably haven't!  Start with the protein and vitamins assuming they are not right and see if your hair will stop falling out.    Just get the protein in where ever you can.  It's a start and that is all we need sometimes for that 'click' to happen.   When your flush with money again you can get your labs done.  It is what works for me, hope it helps you too.

thanks Daisy Mae...financial woes are defiantly a prob....trying to remember to take them vitamins !
