Hair Loss - Peoria,AZ

Hi T.,
The first thing that comes to mind is Thyroid. Stress can cause so many different chain reactions in our bodies, and your thyroid could certainly be out of whack. Do you also have brittle nails and dry skin? Just a thought. If you think you might have a thyroid problem I would suggest getting to your doctor -- But thyroid problems are so often undiagnosed by blood tests (unless the problem has become very serious). I wanted to also pass along this website - I hope it's helpful!

Take care of yourself first and foremost! I know that is SO hard to do for many of us. If you would like to talk about this angle any further please feel free to contact me!

You may want to see a dermatologist. I started losing my hair and after seeing the dermatologist I found that I had a mild case of dandruff. After a switch to some medicated shampoo that I rotate with regular shampoo my hair is in a much better state.

T., stress can make you have a lose of hair. But also some meds. do. Like one of the side effects for Prilosec AC, is hair lose. I know this first hand because my daughter was taking it and was having large amount of hair lose. B Complex /C vitamins is great for stress. Research any medicines you may be taking.
A wonderful web site for remedies in cooking is christinacooks.com. May give you healthier idea's.

Good Luck,

Hi T.,

Stress, especially from Divorce (been there), is a huge factor in losing a lot of hair than normal. Normal loss is about 50-100 hairs a day. More than that, it's caused by stress, anxiety, lack of nutrition etc.

Get some Biotin Super Potentcy. They have 1mg (1000 mcg), or 5mg (5000 mcg). I take the 5mg one. It's the super potentcy and it's helped me a great deal. It takes a while, but you have to be diligent in taking it every single day along with a multi vitamin. I recommend Women's One A Day Multi vitamin. Takec some Vitamin B Complex as well, as we lose a lot of that during a very stressful time such as divorce.

Bless your heart. Things do get better I promise. Going thru a divorce is nasty and it takes a huge toll out of you, but it does get better. And if it helps, try to be friends with your soon to be ex for the sake of your kids, and your own health as well. Things will go much smoother if you can work that part out (ie: stress). Hopefully he's not a butt.

Many blessings to you and your family.

Hair loss is definately a sign of thyroid issues which can be caused by stress- have your thyroid checked out- if I remember correctly it is a sign of hypothyroidism but I could be wrong... Good luck!

Take prenatal vitamins.

Vitamins. Try not to stress :^)

Hi T.,

Get your iron tested. You could be anemic.
