Re: hair falling out again

It took about 1.5 years before my hair started looking decent. The only

things I can suggest is maybe to add biotin if you haven't already and

have your thyroid checked. A lot of my problem was my thyroid.

How much protein supplement? And how distal do you mean by distal?

Cindy,

When you say you " get enough protein in " , what does that mean? How often,

how much, what kind of protein?

What vitamins are you using? Have you spoken to your doctor about this so

you can start eliminating health issues? Are you taking any medications?

Could be totally unrelated to the wls...several reasons could exist for hair

loss.

I had naturally thin hair to begin with but it stopped shedding. I was

afraid I was going to be bald but suprisingly I didn't get bald.

From some site I was reading about hair loss:

" According to Bark, a common cause of hair loss in women is hormonal: It's

generally either due to going on or off birth control pills or the end of

pregnancy. Both can cause telogen effluvium, a generally reversible form of

hair loss that occurs when hair goes into a resting phase.

Other potentially treatable causes of hair loss include thyroid problems,

anemia, lupus and the excess production of the androgen hormone. Hair loss

can be a side effect of medications such as ibuprofen, antidepressants,

hypertension drugs, anticoagulants and chemotherapy.

And any shock to the system, such as weight loss or gain, or emotional

stress, can trigger a hair-resting phase. All of these sources of hair loss

cannot only cause shedding and thinning if uncorrected, but may also

accelerate the progression of underlying female-pattern hair loss. "
