Yes, I have hair thinning. My curly gray hair measures a few inches below my shoulders. The curls help mask how thin it is. But, I've also been on synthroid/levothyroxine (which also causes hair thinning) for 21 years. My hair used to be too thick to even pull 1/2 of it into a barrette. Now all of it fits easily. so I've lost about half my hair to synthroid.
Since starting Lanreotide 6 months ago, I have seen an increase in hair loss. I warned my hubby that between the 2 meds, I'm going to go bald like him! I don't know where my stress levels would be without God's promises in Revelation 21:4.
But the Lanreotide hasn't caused any loss of energy, nausea, or body aches. I can wear a cute hat or a wig. It doesn't affect how my body feels! I admit though. it does affect how I feel about my body- but then again, so did the breast cancer lumpectomy that left me with a golfer's divot on my right breast! Lol.

Y’all… wigs aren’t so bad! They can be affordable ($40+), current classic & basic styles to choose from. Paula Young Wigs Catalog will help you decide… you choose color from swatch, easy non-human hair wigs easy to maintain, style and never needs a hair-cut! Wearing a wig will save you money at beauty salon, save you time getting dressed, style it to look “natural” so others won’t even notice.
I recall this was a difficult decision for me, but I have never regretted my decision (about 20 years) and loved the change it made in my self-esteem. Best…

Thanks for the info information and Cheers to good health!
