kfmgm, I lost a lot of hair after surgery and from Thyroid Disease a few years ago. Synthroid medication for Thyroid made my hair come out terribly. Stress can also cause hair loss. Can the doctor try you with another med that doesn't cause hair loss?

I like you had really thick hair. I lost handfuls of hair both times after having COVID. I thought I was going to go bald. It is coming back again from this last time of COVID. It just takes time.

I would go and see a Dermatologist and let them diagnose what kind of hair loss you have. Low B12 and other vitamin deficiencies also can cause hair loss.

I honestly could tell no difference with vitamins, shampoos. Minoxidil (Rogaine) made my scalp each terribly and so I couldn't use it. I realize most of us do not have the hair we had in our 20's, but, we sure would like to keep what we do have, right?

Try not to put extra stress on your hair. I don't know if you are male or female, but, I assume you are female. Don't wear your hair up too tight in a bun or ponytail as this puts a lot of stress on your hair. After shampooing, let your hair air dry if possible. Also, use a wide toothed comb gently before after shampooing and conditioning to get the tangles out.

Praying for you as I know how this makes you feel. Blessings to you.....

I have seen a dermatologist. She has no idea why my hair fell out. I do not have alopecia. She recommended Rogaine as long as I am very consistent with it. She said it would take 6 months to see any results.
I am just getting over COVID for the 3D time.
