I have noticed that a lot of people I see who have lost a lot of weight have thin hair or even with bald spots. When I mentioned my hair shedding to my endocrinologist, who I see for type one diabetes, she said her first thought was the weight loss in a short time. My dermatologist agreed when I went to see her. Of course, it could have also been post covid syndrome, as it happened the same time that I got smell/taste disorder and some other symptoms. I just hope it does return. I’m going to the medication pretty soon, just to help it along.

I’ve lost about 70 pounds and most of it since September 2023. I’ve tried to keep it healthy and consulted with a nutritionist. Sept is also when I got covid. A lot of symptoms began at that time.
