  1. Ok. I need help and suggestions from all you guys and girls who have been where I am at. I have approximately 15 more pounds to lose and it is taking forever. Any help is greatly appreciated. Kelly
  2. Do you have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism? What medication are you on? What symptoms are you experiencing from your thyroid? I have researched the thyroid extensively because I am hypothyroid. I am sure I can help you. I am not a doctor, but took matters into my own hands and found a doctor that would work with me. Kelly
  3. What happens is when we lose hair, more than usual, it can be because of the exaggerated conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone at the hair follicle. Evening Primrose Oil acts as an inhibitor for this conversion, therefore, keeping the hair from falling out. I hope I have explained this well. Anyway, I know it has helped me many times. Kelly
  4. You hair falls out in cycles. Any type of stress can make your hair fall out. This is call telogen effluvium. I have hypothyroidism and my hair has gone through this many times when I have been low. I also went through this with my 3 pregnancies, gastric bypass and now lap band. Here is what you need to do: Take about 1000th of Biotin Take 500mg (2x's a day) of Evening Primrose Oil Make sure you are getting your Protein in. Take your b12, b6,and b5 B Vitamins are essential for your hair. I am not a doctor or nurse, but I havev researched this subject because of my situation. If you have anymore questions, just ask. Kelly
