I quickly read your older posts, but most were about GD. I was looking to find what you use on your scalp and hair, I'm not sure what shampoo you are using or any other products you are using on your glorious long hair which you have in your photo. What did stand out to me about your older posts which I missed before was your mention that excessive Lysine can thin the hair. I do naturally shed in cycles and it does regrow but never like when I was younger. About 3 months ago I went from taking 1/2 dose daily of Lysine to a full does. It seems my shedding is more than usual right now. Strangely I always shed in the fall, it seems logical a mammal would shed in the spring. Perhaps I'm like a bird molting its summer plumage for its winter feathers. Also although some say Lysine helps, I only take it as an insurance policy as I have taken 1/2 dose daily for 5 years and it never made a bit of difference when I was symptomatic. Maybe a full dose is needed. Since I am asymptomatic presently with all forms of my eczemas I think I may give it up if it contributes to hair loss.

I looked Lysine and hair loss up and actually there is no association of Lysine excess with hair loss. Yet a deficiency of Lysine causes hair loss The only excess supplements to cause hair loss were: biotin, ribolavin, folate and B12. Guess I stay on my full dose.
