Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Hi , Can't wait to see you next meeting Cheers Dianne Great to hear you are taking Bruce in hand! RE: Hi all!! My surgeon has me taking Omega-3 fish oil capsules for hair loss. -----Original Message-----From: Jodie Lindner Sent: Saturday, 28 July 2001 6:17 PMTo: ozband Subject: Hi all!! Howdy everyone Firstly, thanks to those who advised supplementing with zinc to combat hair loss. Unfortunately it at this early stage is having little effect. It is starting to distress me somewhat but I don't know what else I can do. I got results from blood tests that my G.P. ordered and everything came back normal-you name it, I was tested for it-liver function, thyroid, full blood, iron stores, electrolytes, hormones-all O.K. I see my surgeon Doc Kierath this Friday and hopefully he will have had experience with it and advise or at least put my fears to rest that I will be bald by Christmas! Out of desperation went to the health food shop and also now taking horsetail herb which apparently is helpful to encourage hair growth. I wish it didn't discriminate though-why doesn't the hair fall out of legs and underarms so there is less grooming to do!!! But compared to some peoples problems I really have nothing to whinge about. Was also advised to have a few Modifast sachets in addition to what I eat everyday because they are very high in protein. That is the one area I know I don't get enough. It's funny really. A few years ago I tried the Modifast diet-three pitiful milkshakes per day and lost nothing-probably gained twice as much. Now I am having it in addition to my daily food and somehow managing to still lose weight-albeit only a kilo the last 2 weeks. Crazy!!! I wish I could catch up with some Perthies on Friday but literally flying in/flying out so one day I will stop over and maybe catch up with you. Had a very delightful experience last week. Sussans had a sale here in Kalgoorlie and I bought a pair of jeans!!!! God, I love stretch denim!!!! Still a tiny bit firm around the tummy but who cares. In six weeks I go home to for a holiday so I reckon they'll be just right. But as I was walking out of the shop I was so thankful and happy that I made the decision to be banded. So I hope this finds you all in good health and good luck to you all at whatever stage you're at.
