Just my edges in front. It's frustrating because I have rally long dreadlocks and I'd like to not have to cut them. So far pin up styles & headbands have helped. Biotin and hair Vitamins haven't really made a difference.

This honestly is the most embarrassing thing ever to me I cannot get my hair back almost seems as if I'm bald on top so I'm thinking of maybe getting extensions but I don't know how they would look

I take Iron folic acid and Biotin nothing is different

This is what I do and it doesn't come out as much. My daughter is a hairdresser and she always tells me to stop washing my hair every day. I now wash my med. shower length hair every 3 days. I will wash on the 1st day dry it spray each strand before I curl it with hairspray and then throw my head over and blow dry some of the curl out. I then add hair volumizer ( can purchase some from walmart) and shake it all over my head. Do not try and curl or brush your hair after adding the volumizer. I then pick it where needed and for the next 2 days I don't even touch it with a brush or comb I just throw my head over and blow dry again. use a pick where needed and add a little hairspray and do this again on day 3. I do not have near the amount of hair coming out like I would if I washed my hair more often. I get so many complements on my hair now and I am not freaking out about Hair loss. By the way my hair is very thin and by doing these steps my dr. made the comment he was not concerned about my hair loss because I had a lot of hair! lol Little does he know. hahaha I am only brushing it 1 out of 3 days so that is what is helping. Good luck.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
