Title: Hair Loss
Post by: JJ on April 21, 2009, 04:51:09 AM
Hello all,
 
   Hope everyone has had as much good health as possible. I have been

experiencing a tremendous acceleration in hair loss the past couple of

months. Seems the whole family is wearing my hair on them on some

part of their clothing. Noticed the drain needs cleaned after every shower

now instead of every other...I'm not bald yet but who knows. I do have Hypo

thyroid issues but was wondering if maybe due to some added stress this has

kicked into overdrive...any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome before i

need to invest in a wig....then again maybe i should just try to collect all the

hair off my families clothes and make my own out of my own hair...

JJ

Hi JJ  :)

Hypo thyroid certainly caused my hair to thin. My hairdresser suggested a zinc supplement and it helped a lot.

Plaquenil can also cause your hair to thin. It didn't affect mine - but I know it can do.

Take care - Scottie  :)
