    Exclamation Okay...When will my hair stop falling out?

    Hey Sleever's!

    I am almost 6 months post op and my hair is on permanent shed mode!!! Any one have an approximation of when my hair might start being more festive again?! My nutrition is up to par, so it has nothing to do with my intakes. Thank You! Merry Christmas!

    Try taking Biotin, 7500-10,000mg daiky along with vitamin D3, 1000 units. Ive been taking it to make mine grow and it works for me.

    mine finally subsided after a couple of months (started around same time as yours). I have always had thick hair and was FREAKING OUT every time I would shower. I, too, take Biotin (10,000) and I take 10,000 units of vitamin D3 (yes, 10,000, per my doctor). Helps a lot! It does stop though, so hang in there. I have never heard (or read) of any of us losing all our hair.

    I just made the comment to my hubby, "I sure hope you like bald! At this rate people are going to think I've had chemo "
    Sorry it's happening to you. It's happening to me too...

    Welcome to the losing your hair club for sleevers. I took biotin for months before surgery. Didn't stop a damn thing. Just finally dyed my hair last week. My hair is finally starting to grow back in. And it will take awhile. Sigh.
    IT'S BEEN ALMOST TEN YEARS NOW SINCE MY SURGERY. AND IM STILL GOING STRONG!!!!!!

    Hello I hear you... Yes I have thin hair and it's been dropping out.. I have 4 wigs in my possession and if necessary I will have them cut and styled. I am not quite at the point of bald but it was disconcerting when the hairdresser said have you considered using that black spray to hide your scalp?
    I am taking Biotin but I forget somedays to take them all.
    Hopefully it will stop soon
    Hev

    Thank you everyone! I take my Biotin and my Vitamin D 50,000 IU as well, but I feel like an English sheep dog! I think it has slowed some, but I look very thin in the scalp region! At least there is hope!
