Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Hi Carin, my friend has lost hair due to stress but it grew back again if thats any consolation.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 My daughter who is 16 has a couple of patches of hair loss and some shedding all over. Dr. said it could be related to surgery. It's good to know that she is not the only one who has experienced this. When the Dr. looked at her patchy spot, she said that she could see some new hair growth comming in. She had surgery for a underbite, upper moved forward and lower back. Her bite looks so great! It is amazing. I think the hard part has been mostly the post op side effects of surgery. Breaking out in rashy type acne and now the hair. Hopefully things will settle down soon.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Alice, It is not apparrent to the naked eye yet. I was " blessed " with lots of hair. Everytime I wash or comp it the comb is full and it is all over my pillows and clothes (kinda gross). Today I went to the hairdresser and did not tell them of the problem. After washing my hair they said " we need to talk " , I said " I know my hair is falling out " . They are very concerned now I am too< Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 At the age of 27, I lost every bit of my hair, in clumps over the course of three months. This type of hair loss is sometimes referred to as alopecia. http://www.follicle.com/section2/1.html I have heard other mito patients state that they too have lost their hair or have very thin hair. In my case, it grew back but it took a long time. I hope yours grows back too. I wore a wig for 2 years before mine grew back enough to go without the wig.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 You can get it at any salon that sales hair products like , etc.. It sort of pricy but as long as it does the trick.
