Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Hi everyone, I want to thank those of you out there who responded to a posting I made two months ago regarding hair loss. I went super hypo after rai and my hair was falling out all over the place. The doctor told me it would only last 4 weeks. When it didn't stop, he said it could be auto immune related. I panicked and posted. You guys told me not to worry because it is more like 3 to 6 months and it would most certainly grow back. Well it stopped falling out a month ago and it is starting to grow back in! Yeah!! I took a bunch of vitamins and used special shampoos, but I don't think they did anything to slow down the hair loss. What they definitely did, however, was lay a great foundation for hair growth (and nail growth). I hope this helps anyone out there who is going through hair loss. In my case, it peaked about 6 weeks after I noticed it and stayed fairly consistent for about 4 weeks then it slowly (and I mean slowly) started to slow down. I sort of look funky now and my hair dresser said she thinks it is coming in coarser than my current hair and curly (I have stick straight hair). I think I'll look pretty freaky for a while, but I am not complaining. Good luck to everyone and thanks so much for your wisdom and inspiration! -heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
