Hi ,

Are you taking enough good fats? Can you post your basic diet, give us an idea of what you are eating? Fermented foods and drinks? Enough grass fed beef, poultry fish? Have you had a baby recently? Since I have been more strict on the diet, my hair has completely stopped falling and my nails/hair are way healthier, nails not breaking off, my skin is healthier too, etc. I think the hormones are back into balance. I feel very energetic also now. Are you tired? Are you making green juice? Fish oil, cod liver oil?

I am just throwing out ideas for you to analyze how you could boost nutrients and correct issues.

Hang in there, I think you can get this reversed in time.

Took me 3 months for all joint pain gone, and 4 months for all of my psoriasis

to clear up. Had this since i had lyme, everything else cleared up except that,

then the LDN, took care of that.

I have probable Lupus and started LDN a month ago. So far, the energy

improvements have been GREAT!!!! My question is that I'm still losing

hair just as fast as I was before. Does anyone know how long it may

take to start seeing changes?

Hi, it sounds like MSM really works for hair loss. Where do you get your MSM from?

JUDY - actually, i do believe my hair loss was caused by long-term use of steroids!! it came about at the same time i contracted osteroporosis, glaucoma, and high blood pressure; all diagnosed as STEROID-INDUCED!! i chose to use the 1000 mg. doses, and because of chrohn's & the mal-absorption that comes along with that particular disease - i take 4 of theses at least twice a day. i have also been told by the manager of the vitamin shoppe, where i purchase them - NEVER STOP TAKING THEM!! he says i will start having hair loss again, if i cease taking them. but, since they are also a tissue healer, i wouldn't choose to stop taking them, anyway!! i believe they help in the healing process of IBD!!

I noticed that I was losing hair but it was probably because of methotrexate which I finally stopped... it wasn't much help for MS.

Hello,

I have lupus as well and the LDN has been fantastic. For hair loss, you may

want to get your blood tested through metabolics laboratory (I don't have their

info in front of me but can get it). My MD tested my amino acids through them

and had them make a special blend. He also added digestive enzymes and other

digestive aids and my hair has stopped falling out. Now I have normal hair fall

out, not the hand fulls from before.

You need to fix your intestinal absorption (that's the main problem with a lot

of us with lupus and can lead to some of the symptoms like numbness in the

limbs, dizziness, etc.). To help with the hair loss symptom in the short run,

you may want to try Nioxin Shampoo and Conditioner. It's great and helps regrow

hair even when on chemo. If this shampoo doesn't help, you'll want to consider

switching to a shampoo without Sodium Laurel Sulfate or Parabens. A lot of us

have very sensitive skin and a lot of allergies, and these chemicals can be

irritating and worsen rashes and hair loss (although you do not need rashes to

be reacting to these things).

Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. I'm glad someone

else with lupus has been helped by LDN!

[Guest guest]

If anything, the LDN has helped my hair get healthy again. At Art's

suggestion I tried MSM and it really helped. I really think my hair loss

was from my disease and lack of absorption of nutrients. (I have

Crohn's) I don't think that LDN can do anything that would cause hair

loss. I have been a licensed cosmetologist for 30 years. Often 6 weeks to

6 months after a trauma (like a flare of autoimmune disease) hair will

start to fall out. My suggestion is to make sure that you are getting the

nutrients you need.

I also take 5000 mg of Biotin with my other vitamins. I can see the

difference!

best wishes,

[Guest guest]

Kathy,

I hear you loud and clear! I was just saying to myself yesterday that I have to

have a serious talk about this with my rheumy next month at my appt, the only

major problem here is that I really like him, he's probably only 40 maybe and

he's half bald on top, so I think it's a touchy subject with him too but a man

can be bald but for heavens sake I woman can't.

I take only 3 mtx a week, have for 10 years and it does a wonderful job for me.

I do take 2 folics a day. Do I really want to mess with that?

I have been told to add Biotin (it's a vitamin that you can buy over the

counter) by my best friend , a nurse and to use Nioxin shampoo. You might want

to look into those, I have to get on that bandwagon myself. I also have been

coloring my hair for 30 years, I'm only 53 but I followed my grandmother and

went grey in my 20s, don't really want to cut coloring out yet.

Good Luck.

[ ] Hair Loss

I guess I should not complain...and I am sorry but, no family is home for the

holidays and now to top it off... a big hunk of my hair broke off about an inch

from the scalp. This is the second time this has happened. Has anyone had this

problem? Is it from the RA and because I have my hair highlighted? What can I do

for it. It is always right on the top of my head. I take 8 Methotrexate a week

and 2 folic acid daily,blood pressure meds, cymbalta, and prevacid. This med

combo has worked wonders for my pain...knock on wood...not much pain if any,

just fatique and the hair loss. If any of you have experienced this and found

out what to do, I would really appreciate your information.

Kathy

[Guest guest]

Hi a:

    I too have baby fine hair, and hope I don't lose my hair.  I feel awful

for you.  Bad enough to have RA, take those killer drugs, now your hair is

falling out.  I hope you buy yourself the most beautiful wig you find.  If

that happens to me, I sure will.

    I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, and a healthy and happy new year. 

I know you will enjoy your family so much, and your holiday decorations. Enjoy

your day totally.

    Much love to you, my dear friend.  My wish for you is better health, to

be pain free, and to enjoy your life better and with ease.  Talk soon.

 

Many hugs,

Love,

 

Barbara

I can understand about the hair loss. I am this close to buying a wig. My

hair is so thin and baby fine anyway but with the meds and aging....

I stopped the arava and it helped some but I still notice it on the brush.

Its from too much DHT.

There are prescription meds for this but I hear they can lower libido. I

believe they are called proscar and propecia.

little concerned because I've been losing hair over last couple years and hope

it does not get worse. Anybody have any tips?

Hi

ive been on trt for 4 years or more and i too am going thin around the crown

area ive always had a good head of hair too. The more test you have , the more

it converts to dht which has receptor sites in the scalp. It could be that more

dht id being produced and hence affecting your hair.

saw palmetto is said to help but personally not known any difference, however it

is good for the prostate which too has dht receptor sites.

[Guest guest]

Yes I saw hair loss from transdermal TRT.

Here's what worked for me to stop hair loss. It regrew very little but it did

stop the loss

I use Nizoral 2% shampoo 3 times a week. You don't need a prescription if you

buy it from a Canadian pharmacy on the web.

I also apply 2% Spironolactone(Alcohol based) about 4 nights a week before bed

time and 5% Spironolactone creme and the same time(on the nights without Nizoral

shampoo).

I get the Spirolactone from Compounded for Regrowth LLC at www.minoxidil.com

Dr. Crisler sells a Ketoconazole(Nizol)/Spironactolone prescription to his

patients but it did not work as well as the above for me.

My hair has gotten thinner in only 8 weeks of being on testosterone. going to

weekly injections slowed it down, since the spike was when i could scratch my

head and watch hair fall down.

I thought about the hair replacement drugs, but I am trying to have a baby and

the wife is sensitive to chemicals. This is also why I decided to do shots

instead of androgel. of course, now that I am giving myself shots, its no big

deal.

I look forward to the day I shave off all my hair and just look big, old, and

scary... screw the hair.

[Guest guest]

Why in the world are you taking T if you're trying to have a baby? Isn't that

directly counterproductive - the worst thing you could do?

I am taking testosterone because of several issues,

**the complete inability to have full penatrative sex, even with a full pill of

levitra.

**High blood pressure that was not being controled by any of the blood pressure

meds. Way too many side effects, and one was causing me to have diabetic blood

glucose readings.

**My blood sugar readings were diabetic, I would have had to start glucophage

**my triglicerides, along with my uric acid were high.

**I felt like crap, having hot flashes, my memory was getting pretty bad, and

the gout was hard to control, and the anxiety. Tired all the time

**I also felt like a shmuck around groups of people

I am seeing dr. crisler next month, and I hope he can help me straighten

everything out. I was fertile starting testosterone, and my fertility has been

tested and has gone down. I am having trouble with the HCG, so I am kind of

stuck

Hey Group,

It hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm concerned about hair loss from

testosterone replacement therapy. What can I do to prevent this?

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

My wife keeps telling me mine hair has gotten much thicker on top since

I started TRT. I was pretty near bald in the middle but it is filling in

with a lot of new hair. Go figure! Brett

When you say 2mls every 10 days are you using Test C at 200mg/ml this would =

400mgs in on dam big shot every 10 days what do your labs look like this is a

lot of T.

Dr. sells a shampoo that he says helps with this but doing as much T as you

might be doing I don't know if this would help.

Do you have your blood checked for being to think this is a problem with shots

this big and how do your DHT levels look.

It's called Dr. 's Anti-Hair Loss Formula

$ 55.00

60 ml

But I think you need to see him to get this.

www.allthingsmale.com

Do you check your Estradiol levels I am betting they are high.

http://www.musclechatroom.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2

From what I know about TRT and hair loss if your going to lose your Hair on TRT

is can happen sooner.

What ever you do don't use Propecia (finasteride)there are men that have low

Testosterone and have lost there sex life on this crap.
