Hello Everyone,
First and foremost, let me just say I've followed this forum for quite some time but have never posted before. Everyone's personal experiences and advice helped me get through the stress of pre-surgery jitters and post-surgery questions.
Now, I have a question for everyone. I had surgery on 8/28/09 and starting at about 10 weeks post op, my hair started falling out and since then it has progressed tremendously. I can run my fingers through my hair and easily pull out 5-10 hairs at a time. Brushing my hair after the shower is a nightmare and completely depressing! I think I've lost about 1/3 (if not more) of the volume of my hair.
I've had blood work done and everything came back normal. I started taking a multi-vitamin as well as Biotin 5000 but it still just keeps falling out. My surgeon said he'd never heard hair falling out after surgery. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do and when did it stop?
I think the stress of the hair loss is making it even worse! Any advice would greatly help!
