Please Let The Hair Loss Stop!

[gamergirl 4,609]

So 4-5 months out I have a weird hair thing happening. It's falling out in gobs still, there's hair everywhere, I'm shedding more than my Lab

But my hair is getting thicker. I guess the extra Protein I'm eating these days is making it grow better? I went in to get hair extensions and was told I didn't need them.

When she said that, I stopped and looked at the hair on my head instead of the Hair loss, and realized, yes I was losing a lot, but if I ignored that and looked at what I have, I am actually better off than before the surgery.

Weird, hunh?

I'm eating at least 60 gms of Protein, 40% of calories from fat! and taking 1000 Mcg evening primrose oil to help with thyroid related hair loss.

See?? It's not all gloom and doom

I cry every morning as I get ready for work. The Hair loss is dramatic and I call it "collateral damage".

Collateral damage yes it is.

Mine is dull as well as the loss.

Pantene (I think) has come out with a new Shampoo system called Age Defy and the first couple of times I've used it it has pumped my hair up. It's shampoo, conditioner and a styling spray.

I feel like my hair is starting to fall out, but I have very thin long blonde hair so it does this anyway (blondes shed an incredible amount.) If it starts clumping out, I don't know how I'll hide it.

Thanks guys. I almost broke down crying tonight...it's gotten so thin! I like the collateral damage way of thinking I just wish I knew for sure it'd "ALL" grow back!
