I am on 6 pills a week and have been for 3 or 4 years.  Ahhhh-hair.  Well I also take plaquenil and a bunch of other meds.  I normally have thin and fine hair.  I swear my hair is thinner, but I must admit I've not noticed losing more hair.  I think it has to do with "greying" which makes the scalp so much more visible.

I do color my hair and am experimenting with different cuts.  I also find that a perm fills out the thin-ness.  I know color and perms are hard on the hair, but I do what I feel i need to do.  A year or so ago, I got a short spiky do and I thought I was going to cry.  When I was a bit younger, this look was good for me, not now  When I wash my hair, I loose about 10-15 hairs and I don't think that's a large amount.  Lucy
