Hi Mary, Yes the supplements were from Nioxin. hair loss can be caused from so many things; surgery hormone imbalance (in my case it's PCOS) skin/scalp condition excessive shedding (I forget the medical term) lack of protien/minerals/vitamins Like waterlilly said about sing the whole line and trying things to see what works best. But find out why it's happening

Okay, I'm defo ready for one. I am hungry all the time and able to eat solids without a problem. I'm slowly gaining back the weight I lost because I'm never full. I think it's time for my first fill.

LOL Living well is the best revenge. Right peeps?

Hey all, I just got back from the courthouse. I am officially divorced as of 10:30 this morning. It feels weird. Good but weird. I got a little choked up when the judge was announcing to the court that "evidence shows that this marriage is herby absolved and shall from this moment on Leenerbups "Cowbell" (using fake name of course) be known as Leenerbups "Pirate". I'm glad this happened during the Spring. Ressurrection, Renewal and rebirth, and all.

Hey, your talking to the hair loss queen. Back in my twenties, I was a hair model. Long, very thick and very wavy. My hair was always my crowning glory. Now, it's so thin you can see my scalp. But it's from hormone issues. It began to really fall out bad when I was on Atkins, so it defo was not anything to do with protien. I tried everything. From Minoxodil (it gave me bad dermatitis on my scalp), pills, everything. What is working for me is the Nioxin. I use the line for chemically treated hair. Because it is thin, I have lightened it. It disguises the scalp better. I get mine off of Ebay to save money. But use the entire line to really be effective. The shampoo, conditioner and the scalp treatment. It's really helped. I also use the supplements when I can afford it.

LOL ANd Vladivlastock Russia too. Even Russian immigrants give me a look when I say he went there. hehehe Downside is he has a lot of money (left me with nothing) so I am sure he is living high on the hog (for Vladilaskok) I did some emotional eating yesterday and gained a pound. :-(

I'm a blonde too! Very fair skin. Irish/English/Germean decent. Has anyone tried laser removal to any success? I tried electrolosis and only got scars and about $500 poorer out of it. Does anyone else have skin tags? ARRG!!

Thanks Karen. Thank you for the confirmation. Funny how one can feel that invisable shift on a day like today.

You too Susan? hehe It has been wonderful, that is for sure. He's my angel.

LOL! I was waiting to exhale and did!!

Thank you all. It is bittersweet. My husband and I were best friends, but he was a very selfish man and it was getting worse as the years went on, not better. He made $87k a year and let me file for bankruptcy when I fell ill with chronic fatigue. (I only was 5k in debt.If I needed a few stamps I had to give him money for it. His wife. Now he is living in Russia with a woman he met on the Internet. But I'm now with a very unselfish man who also happens to be in his 20's. GO ME!! :-p

Janet, the problem with letting it go untreated, or "managed" is a better word, is it can lead to other serious health problems. Diabtetes, heart disease, obesity and gynocolgical issues and cancers.

ROFL Paula. What Sam posted is what I do. I use the natural helpers because I'm from another planet is seems and my body rejects most prescription and OTC drugs. lol SO I use a good natural progesterone cream, those supplements, exercise and now Lap Band. My endocranologist is the one who suggested this surgery to me, because I was not able to take the drugs, the weight was piling on so fast, I was becoming the beared lady and my hair has been falling out. I used to hair model it was so thick, now I can't even keep it in a pony tail. You can see my scalp. She also said you have to go more by the symptoms than the evidence of cysts or super high tetosterone. Most doctors don't have good knowledge about this. I mean, I have been seeing doctors about what was wrong with me since I was a teen. Finally a female endocronologist found out what it was in my 40's. Those are a lot of years gone by. I did not have cysts appear until the past year and a half and my testosterone has been mid level to low mid level.

Dawn, I am so sorry you lost your mom. Losing a parent or child is the worst and my heart goes out to you. I think you should go ahead and have the surgery. Your mom would want you to avoid the very thing that eventaully killed her, diabetes and obesity, so you can be around longer for your family than she wanted to, but was unable to be. I am sure she will be with you on the day you do it.

Kim, just to add I'm like you, I have alays had regular periods. Always. CLockwork. Just have everything else that you do too. Many doctors disagree about the PCOS "rules" one thing for sure, I have those cysts, I've seen them on ultrasound. And the elevations, the hair on my face, the lack of hair on my head says so too. LOL ANyway, because your like me and cant take BC, exercise is supposed to be super helpful with PCOS. Something to do with helping insulin and the cells reaction with each other. Because in the end, insulin started the problem. And of course weight loss will lessen the symptoms.

Hi Kim, I have PCOS too. There is a great site called soulcysters.com you can get more info on. I also can't take BC because of my age and weight and high cholestral, but I wish I could, because when I did it helped. The glucophage made me really sick, but it does help the body process the insulin, which is our main problem. Just a word to the wise: Go every year fro your gyno exam. Women with PCOS are at risk for other diseases such as ovarian cancer and other risky things. SO go! No more ten years deal, it could cost you! I'm going through siomething with it right now and awaiting further tests. *shakes finger*:confused:

Gentlespirit, I'm not diabetic, but I am hypoglycemic. I'm also insulin resistant/PCOS, so I have a lot of wacky insulin issues. Both my parents are diabetic as was one set of grandparents. My dad has a glucometer I'm going to get tomorrow, so see if it is blood sugar that the Prozac is messing with. Melody, thank you. :-) Actually I found out just recently I might be BiPolar II and as it raised my depression, by the second day I was feeling speedy and wired. I'm going to check my blood levels. Sarah, I do have anxiety issue, so it's out. I have panic disorder. I've been through so many to try to find something that works with my system. :-/

Lisa, do you have to pay for that or is it free?

ha! That is so interesting.

MelAnne, I was the same way for about a week or so. It went away. Of course I was also only drinking liquids so naturally, everything went through me.

Oh my gawd is that cute. Good thing your far from me or I'd have to steal that bunny!! :-) Your son is adorable!

This is the sweetest thing!! How cute! Why is there a golf ball under her? LOL

I think you did a very good job. It's honest. There was someone else here last month looking for donations, but with your site, I don't feel like I'm being scammed when I go to it.

Hey all, yup hypoglycemia can result in 10% of patioents taking this. (my luck!) I gained two lbs in the 3 days on this stuff because of my blood sugar swings. I had to eat to keep from crashing. :party: Shame, it was helping everything else.

I'm glad this thread was/is able to help others. :-)
