I keep having hair fall out by the handful :( Every morning I have at least two hand fulls and when u look at me you can see a reseeding hair line! Does any one have any suggestions on what to do? This is very devastating as I used to have such think hair I had all I could do to put it up and now its so thin it scares the poop out of me :(

Went through that too. Talk to your dr right away. My dr put me on a 3 month Vitamin regimen and it helped. My hair is starting to grow back.

I was told the same thing, more Vitamins, more Protein and that I could try Biotin if I wanted. It's scary to see so much hair fall out...

Ok, so I know this is going sound super weird, but I've had this problem before I've found Biotin helps but through a Mexican friend I found out that if you crush up birth control pills and mix them in with your Shampoo it help with the hair loss and allows hair to grow quicker. I'm no expert but it has worked on me, it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. I've found a lot of friend who no longer use their pills and they give them to me.

Just a thought. ;)

I have PCOS so the cause of my Hair loss is an excess of androgens. It got so bad i had bald spots on my head. The drain would be backed up from all the hair loss in a single shower. I currently take spirunolactone (sp?) Which blocks androgens, taking Biotin and i also use Bosley Hair Care for thinning hair. I had my Vitamin D levels checked and they were low... which causes hair loss. My Dr. Put me on Vitamin D one pill a week for 12 weeks, then follow with a pharmacy Vitamin D supplement daily. My hair has stopped falling out but it doesnt seem to be growing back... :(

I think this happens to all of us. The beat that worked for me was making sure to not put anything into my mouth that didn't contain Protein, Biotin helps a lot and also my Dr prescribed pre-natals and a trim. It has worked wonders, hair is even healthier than pre-band. But don't worry its normal.

Where do you get birth control pills from for your hair and how did someone figure that out?

Its not birth control. Its called Spironolactone. Its a DHT receptors blocker. Google it. I notoced that my hair is growing back :) make sure that your dr checks your creatin leavels at it can affect kidney function

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
