  • Why cant it fall out under your arms or off your legs or anywhere else??? Noooo just off the head!

  • It freaked me out a bit when it first started happening to me, even though my surgeon discussed it with me before surgery. Heck I even had to sign a form stating that I understood that this would happ

Hrm... maybe have your labs done? It sounds like you're doing the things that normally help!

yep...losing it by the hand full also, but I still have a lot of hair so I'm not worried. It will grow back. I just hope it doesn't come back all white since I'm stating to get white hair....lol

Mine was coming out in clumps. The daily heartbreak was killing me. I was horrified at the handfuls of hair every time I brushed or showered. I had my head shaved bald last Sunday. My friend who did it for me took a clump of hair, pulled to check how bad it was....it ALL came out.

So I am getting free air conditioning for the summer, my hair will grow back when my body recovers from all the trauma and stabilizes. The forums seem to put hair loss at 3-6 months. Mine did this in a big way at 3 weeks. I am gaining health and my beauty is not my hair

Yeah I need to but just switched jobs and lost my insurance have another 2 months until I qualify for benefits at my new job :( otherwise I would be at the doc stat

Oh no....so is it inevitable? I do not look forward to losing hair. Talk about adding insult to injury. I've been pumped up with vitamins, supplements, and plenty of Biotin for 6 weeks now. I sure hope it helps.

It will slow down I was losing my hair like Crazy and now it is back to normal Just let your body adjust

It freaked me out a bit when it first started happening to me, even though my surgeon discussed it with me before surgery. Heck I even had to sign a form stating that I understood that this would happen!

But at 6 months (it started at 4 for me) it has definitely slowed down. I lost a lot! when I pull my hair back it feels so thin in my hands now :(

But I will say I'm the only one who really notices the thinness. But my family is sick of seeing my hair EVERYWHERE!

I told them if you are sick of my hair in the food I can always stop making dinner! :P

That's funny! Not! But I know what you mean I keep seeing the part In my hair looking bigger.

But just today I was blow drying my hair and the sides looked so thin as the air hit it, all I could see is scalp!

Not to mention when I blow dry hair flys all over the bathroom! :o

Hell even my hair in the profile picture looks thinner! :P

That's the worse when you are outside and see the sun shining on your scalp in the mirror!!

I did that in the reflection on my car window a couple of weeks ago!
