Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Could be medication related. I, on the other hand, am getting thicker, frizzier hair.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hey :-) My hair goes through " molting " stages, that for some reason seem to be in sync with my cat... bit weird. Being the compleate girly girl that I am, I pack my hair full of deep conditioners and fortifying stuff anyway... But that doesn't really seem to make much of a diffrence at all... I guess one teeny bit of sliver lineing is that because I'm to tired to blow dry my hair most of the time, I don't make it worse... lol. -Lizzie.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Interesting question. I had always had a very thick head full of hair. I've noticed that I'm thinning out quite fast since 1996. I have no idea if it's simply getting older, the fibro, or possibly the medications. Maybe we should compare meds and see if there's any similarities. I lost another handful today in the shower. I'm on: amitriptyline bextra (only occasionally now but was daily for a long time... Celebrex and Vioxx prior - all 3 are similar drugs) flexoril tylenol #3 hair renewing hugs, Norah Norah Bleazard - Burlington, Ontario Canada www.bleazard.net ~ www.janorlites.com E-MAIL= norah.fibroyahoo@...
