  • Sorry ... Really nothing to do as this is the result of something that happened months ago...major surgery !! :-). Best you can do is promote new growth. I've been successful with bamboo (90% silica)

I've also noticed the top of my head is achy. Maybe this is related to the great exodus of hair or maybe it isn't. Anyone know?

My head is still achy today; it was hard to sleep because it was sensitive even on a soft pillow. I wish I could figure this one out. There are small areas about 1-2 inches that feel like they took a beating.

Andy, that's REALLY weird!! You may want to see your PCP or a dermatologist. You may have gotten a rash or an allergy? It doesn't sound normal.

I'm almost six months out and had some hair loss starting at four months. Saw the most at five months, but I can already see it growing back in. It really wasn't too bad for me. I started taking Biotin (5000 mg) at 2 months out. I've heard that it works, and that it doesn't work, but it DID really help my nails. They are nice and strong now! I have continued to color my hair every five weeks and I cut it shorter too. I also shampoo daily - I have too as I have oily hair. It hasn't seemed to harm it at all. I did, however, have quite a thick head of hair to start with, so while I can tell it has thinned out, no one else can. I have also been really religious about getting protein in. I generally make my 65 grams a day, sometimes higher.
