QuoteReplyTopic: Shedding Posted: March 27 2006 at 9:59pm
I've been having problems with this for months now I've actually come to hate combing my hair because I just don't want to see how much comes out.The last year has been very stressful plus my digestive problems can't be helping I'm using an essential oil blend that other people have been having success with but I don't seem to be getting much of a result.I've got the last four months worth of shed hair in a bag I'll post a photograph of it later so you can decide if I'm over reacting
Do you have any advice for either the shedding or how to deal with a Hiatus Hernia

I don't know about the hernia, but your doc should be able to advise
you if you have any health problems that could cause shedding, or if
your shedding is normal. If you are really losing too much, the hair on
your head may start to look thinner. He can also do a blood test to
find out if your thyroid is okay or if there may be anything else
causing it. If he doesn't find anything wrong, we do lose up to
100 hairs a day normally. I lose that many a day I'd say, and it looks
like a TON of hair in the shower and on my brush, but the hair on my
head still looks as thick as it always has, so even losing a ton of it
can be normal. If you dye it or chemically treat it, you may also
lose more than usual, and that will make it look thinner too.

Hi Nastasska, sorry to hear about the stress and the hernia. I do know that stress can cause excess shedding. Also, are you on any medications for the hernia? Those sometimes can lead to hair loss as well. If your hair loss is more than normal, then I would definitely consult your doctor. Mine was thyroid and stress related, so I am taking MSM and evening primrose oil with good results. Please take good care of yourself and I hope the shedding stops soon.
I was on medication for my digestion but the second one disagreed with me so I'm not on anything at the moment but I am taking Goji Juice which has helped but I still have to be very careful what I eat

So sorry to hear about your high shed rate.
When I went off Propecia last autumn, my hair shed rate increased quite
a bit. So I upped my vitamin/mineral/herb supplementation until I
found the right combination and amount to return the shed rate to
"normal."
Curious. This mangosteen juice seems like some sort of cure-all
elixir. Apparently it's a mixture of concentrated fruit
juices. And pricey at $1.40 per serving (Aus or US?). I'd
be inclined to buy and eat the fruits instead. If you do get it
and try it, Nastasska, let us know if it works. k?
