Google telogen effluvium. There isn't much you can do about it however it is temporary and will grow back. You can also search existing threads on this site, there are tons of opinions on things to do but honestly I believe it has to run its course.....there is no magic pill to make it stop.

OMG-- UP TO SEVEN YEARS? How I am go8ng to LOOk at IT, the rest of my body is getting Thin , why not the hair on my noggin? If GOD has any sense of humor he would have taken the Armpit and leg hair first, I want to declare a moratorium on Shaving anything! And I would gladly sacrificed my PCOS chin hair too. Was going to Make an appointment to have my eyebrows waxed but worried the remainder would fall out once I spent the $-Money. Oh Well it is as it will Be!

I take Biotin each day as well as use Nioxin Shampoo and conditioner and even Minoxidil on my scalp all to help stave off the Hair loss.

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
