God bless you Judy. I had Covid last August and the hair loss began 4 months later in December, with January of 2023 being my worst month. I wasn't just shedding hair, it was coming out a lot. It began tapering off in February, but, I still have more shedding than usual. I am noticing new hair coming in. I am not shampooing my hair but once a week, using Pureology Hydrating shampoo (it's expensive but good and a mild shampoo), trying not to wear my hair up a lot as that causes more hair to come out. It's so disheartening as a female to have hair loss. I thought I was going to be bald at one point! I am still seeing hair on my pillow case but not as much. I think Covid does so much to our bodies. It takes time for your hair to grow back completely. We are not the only ones this has happened to since having Covid. I am praying for you right now and I am so sorry.

Have your iron and ferritin levels checked. Either Covid or the Covid vaccine frequently results in low levels and that in turn causes hair loss. In my case, I requested a prescription to have the levels checked not only because of hair loss but breakage about 1-2" from my scalp as well. My doctor prescribed ferrous sulphate and over time there has been some improvement—it's a long process however, and who knows if it'll ever be totally back to "normal."

I had major hair loss during and post COVID. I started taking marine derived biotin and using Mediceuticals shampoo folligen and conditioner. In addition, working on healthy diet for inflammation. I have lots of new hair growth! The balding spots are all filling back in nicely.

I had my one and only Moderna shot in March 2021 and that was followed a couple of days later with a diagnosis of Covid, so I don't really know if the low iron levels was from Covid or the "vaccination." Between one and two months later I began to notice the difference in my hair. Not too long afterward, I visited the doctor and she prescribed the ferrous sulphate (325 mg.). It is now two -years since and while my iron is within the normal range, it is at the lower end and my hair and nails have improved but only a little. In addition, since Covid and/or Moderna shot, I've had shortness of breath—so my guess is that I have "long Covid." Tomorrow I get a stress test because of that SOB. You mention low grade temp., and I don't know how low yours is but mine never gets above 97 degrees (during Covid, however, for one day it was up to 99).
