Dry eyes can do that . . . PH's recommendations are excellent.

Re: Hair Loss

Well here I am again today with extreme fatigue and when I woke up, I noticed that my right eye was a little swollen and it looked infected.

My temperature was in the 96 ranges! I could never get it higher.

That was a definite sign that I had a thyroid issue, but I didn't

know it was Hashi's until 4 years after explant.

Steph ~

It is normal to loose hair with the change

of seasons, and also when you have anesthesia.

So, I am sure you are having enough loss that it

is scarey. Mine always fell out for about 8 weeks

or so after surgery. Then as it grew back in, it looked

like I had a mohawk til it got long enough to lay down

then my hair looked much thicker. I always knew

when I had the mohawk look that I would soon

have hair with bounce and volumn again.

Please dont worry, that in itself will stiffel things...

Hi PH, If I could just ask you how much hair did you lose or how much

of it was falling out? It seems lately when I brush my hair or run my

hand through my hair a lot of it comes out. Thanks

Hi Stephie,

I've always had baby fine, whispy hair so even to lose a little felt

like a lot. About a year before explant, my hair began losing its

luster and every time I'd brush I'd have 10-20 strands on my shirt.

Everywhere I'd go, people were picking strands off my shirt, coat.

Same as you, if I'd run my hands through my hair, some would come

out.

My hair stylist says people lose 75-100 hairs a day and more with the

change of the seasons. After explant surgery it was a lot worse but

then stopped. I'd say I've lost about a third of my hair...no bald

spots just a lot thinner but I can see where new growth is coming

in. Just try to be patient. - PH

Thanks Dede. I hope that mine will grow back. Before explant it was

falling out but it wasn't growing back. I hope after a couple of

months it'll stop falling out and start re-growing!

Thanks PH. I always had a lot of hair and it's just thinner than it

was before. It worries me because before explant it would fall out

without any regrowth at all. I'm hoping for it to stop falling out

and then hopefully growing back again. I have an appointment with a

naturopath tomorrow night. He said that he tests via serum IgG, IgM

and IgA. Have you ever heard of that. I told him that I have a

candida problem. He also does the hair analysis and saliva tests. He

also takes my health insurance so I'm happy about that! I'm just

afraid that it won't grow back.

Not sure about dry skin, but hair loss is a symptom of poor circulation. Or at

least my doctor notes the hair on my toes and comments about my having good

circulation.

[Guest guest]

Have heard of that before years ago when my doctor was checking my leg when

it was swollen pretty bad. That was when they found the Lyme diagnosis.

They had no idea why my leg was so swollen. Anyway, he checked my toes for

hair and said about the circulation issue. I still had it then, that was

back in 99. Will have to check out the ole toes later. (don't really like

feet)

Hi Barbara,

I had a similar problem in the first couple of years that I was

taking Gleevec. I had a very thin patch right in the front but only

on one side. It was very bizarre.

I never needed a wig and the hair loss did eventually subside (or

maybe I just got used to it).

One thing I would check out though is your thyroid and B12 level.

Both of which could play a role in hair loss.

Take care,

Tracey

Hi Barbara:

I experienced hair loss from Gleevec several years ago. I started

using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner and it made a big difference. I

have thick hair and like you said it was coming out all the time. I

bought some hats because I thought everyone would notice.

You can buy Nioxin at the beauty salon or online. It really helps.

I have used Nioxin for several years. I use the shampoo and the scalp therapy. 

I had started losing my hair in the 3rd month of sprycel and (was not using the

scalp therapy at the time)

I once again added it to the reguime and the hair loss decrease.

I have long hair so I also use the conditioned.

I wouldn't leave home without it.

Dear (Knotts),

I bought a whole kit of Nioxin products from my hairdresser, but they had so

many different things you had to do, I got tired of reading all the directions

to see which I had to use before and after. Is that all you use, just the

shampoo and conditioner? Then maybe I will try it again. I notice my son bought

some from J. C. Penney. I'll have to put it on my list of supplies I need to

get.

Blessings,

Lottie

[Guest guest]

Dear Lottie:

I know Nioxin has a bunch of different products. I just use the

shampoo and scalp therapy and it has worked so far. My hair is back to

its noraml thickness. It does cost more than normal shampoos but to me

it is worth it. I try to get it on sale or sometimes I buy it online

with free shipping.

a,

Hon, I really feel for you. I now cut my hair shorter than I like it

so that it doesn't look so thin. Trying to cover the back is a real

time consuming pain. I spread it out the best I can and then spray

it down.

Like you my rheummy said it would correct itself over time. 17

months and counting. It's MTX that causes my hair loss. I guess it

varies from person to person. I haven't heard the guys in the group

comment much about this.

Hope you have a good day.

I used to love my hair. I would like to enjoy it again!

a,

Just to be on the safe side I would call the rheummy's ofc and ask

to pick up a copy of your bloodwork. If you have a fax, that could

work also. I don't like assuming when it comes to doctors. I know

the lab my insurance requires my rheummy to send to has failed twice

to send the results. This was not noticed until I asked about them.

The pointing fingers is awful. Worse is, you are in the middle with

no control over either but you are the one that suffers from it.

My boss wears her hair cut like a man's and she loves it. It is so

short that people have asked me about her sexual preference. Why!

She is straight but why ask?

Sorry you are having a bout with sleeping. I hope you get a better

night of rest tonight.

I haven't had any hair loss from Enbrel. I'm glad, since my hair is

very fine and also thin.

Hi a

I take 5mg of folic acid and now she has just put me on calcium

folinate as wel. It says " Leucovorin calcium " on the bottle. I take

1/2 a tablet (7.5mg) 8 - 12 hours after I take mtx.

no folinic acid is by rx from doc and is different than folic acid.
